Smoky Mountain rain (video)

G - Bm - C - G

Em C

1. I thumbed my way from L.A. back to Knoxville,

G D

I found out those bright lights ain't where I belong.

Em C

From a phone booth in the rain I called to tell her,

Am D

I've had a change of dreams, I'm coming home.

C D

But tears filled my eyes when I found out she was gone.

CDG Bm

Smoky Mountain Rain keeps on falling,

C D

I keep on calling her name.

CDG Bm

Smoky Mountain Rain I'll keep on searching,

C D

I can't go on hurting this way.

C D G

She's somewhere in the smoky mountain rain.

Em C

2. I waved a diesel down outside a café,

G D

he said he was going as far as Gatlinburg.

Em C

I climbed up in the cab all wet and lonely,

Am D

I wiped my eyes and told him about her.

C D

I've got to find her, can you make these big wheels burn ?

+ CHORUS

C

+ I can't blame her for letting go,

G

a woman needs someone warm to hold.

F

I feel the rain running down my face,

Bb D

I'll find her no matter what it takes !

+ CDG - Bm - C - D

CDG Bm

Smoky Mountain Rain keeps on falling,

C D

I keep on calling her name.

CDG Bm

Smoky Mountain Rain I'll keep on searching,

C D

I can't go on hurting this way.

+ repeat CHORUS ....
