**Note: Beginners can use a D chord in place of the Bm in this song and it still
sounds pretty good.
[Intro]
G Bm C G C G
[Verse 1]
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
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
I keep on callin' her name
G Bm
Smoky mountain rain, I'll keep 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 cold and lonely
Am D
I wiped my eyes and told him about her
C D C D
I've got to find her can you make these big wheels burn
[Chorus]
G Bm
Smoky mountain rain keeps on fallin'
C D C D
I keep on callin' her name

Smoky mountain rain, I'll keep on searchin'

she's somewhere in the smoky mountain rain

a woman needs someone warm to hold
