Lyrics

I thumbed my way from L.

A.

back to (C)Knox ville;

I found (G)out those bright lights ain’t where I be long.

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

I’ve had a change of dreams, I’m com ing home.

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

Smok y Moun tain rain keeps on (Bm)fall ing,

I keep on (C)call ing

her (D)name.

Smok y Moun tain rain, I’ll keep on (Bm)search ing;

I can’t go on (C)hurt ing

this (D)way.

She’s (C)some where in the (D7)Smok y Moun tain rain.

I waved a die sel down out side a (C)ca fé;

he said (G)he was goin’ as far as Gat lin burg.

I climbed (Em)up in cab, all wet and cold and (C)lone ly;

I wiped my eyes and told him a bout her.

I’ve got (C)find her, eyes can’t you make these big wheels burn?

Smok y Moun tain rain keeps on (Bm)fall ing,

I keep on (C)call ing

her (D)name.

Smok y Moun tain rain, I’ll keep on (Bm)search ing;

I can’t go on (C)hurt ing

this (D)way.

She’s (C)some where in the (D7)Smok y Moun tain rain.

I can’t blame her for let ting go,

a wom an needs some one warm to hold.

I feel the rain run ning down my face;

I’ll find her no mat ter what it takes.
