G

Em                                 C
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 comin' home
          C                                       D    (C, D, G)
but tears filled my eyes when I found out she was gone
         
CHORUS: 
 
G                            Bm
Smoky Mountain Rain keeps on fallin'
          C           D    (C, D, G)
I keep on callin' her name
G                               Bm
Smoky Mountain Rain I'll kep on searchin'
              C            D
I can't go on hurtin' this way
      C                D              G
she's somewhere in the smoky mountain rain


verse 2:


Em                              C
I waved a diesel down outside a cafe
        G                      D
he said he was goin' 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    (C, D, G)
I've got to find her can you make these big wheels burn

(CHORUS)
         Cmaj7
BRIDGE:  I can't blame her for lettin' go
G
a woman needs someone warm to hold
Fmaj7
I feel the rain runnin' down my face
Bbmaj7                  D              (C, D, G)
I'll find her no matter what it takes

(instrumental)

(CHORUS)
