Smokey Mountain Rain (CHORDS) by Ronnie Milsap

[Intro]~
G Bm C G


[Verse 1]~
Em                               C
I thumbed my way from L!A! back to Knoxville

           G                                  D
I found out those bright lights aint where I belong

      Em                                  C        A
From a phone booth in the rain I called to tell her

                                      D
I've had a change of dreams I'm comin' home

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


[Chorus]~
G                             Bm
Smokey Mountain rain keeps on fallin'

         C           D    C
I keep on callin' her name

G                                 Bm
Smokey 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 Smokey Mountain rain


[Verse 2]~
Em                            C
I waved a diesel down outside a cafe'

            G                             D
He said that he was goin' as far as Gatlinburg

            Em                              C      Am
I climbed up in the cab all wet and cold and lonely

                                  D    A
I wiped my eyes and told him about her

           C
I've got to find her!

                             D
Can you make these big wheels burn..?


[Chorus]~

Smokey Mountain rain keeps on fallin'

I keep on callin' her name

             C            D
I can't go on hurtin' this way

     C                D               G
She's somewhere in the Smokey Mountain rain


[Bridge]~
C
I can't blame her for lettin' go

G
A woman needs someone warm to hold

F
I feel the rain runnin' down my face

I'll find her no matter what it takes!
