Appalachian Rain Lyrics

2000 Johnsmith, Blue Pine Music / Buddy Mondlock, Major Bob Music (ASCAP)
Capo I
tune low E to D
Intro: G / D / A4 / Bm /
is
1. Setting out on this journey
I packed up my regrets
Now I sit here in this shelter
Seems I don't have many left
So I'm writing you this letter
On this rainy April day
You said your heart needed some distance
So I walked away
CHORUS:
I would gladly walk from Georgia, all the way to Maine
is
I would cross the creeks and the mountain peaks
Whispering your name
is
If you asked me I would do this
is
I would go and not complain
But this walk's for me, to find my peace
In the Appalachian rain
is
2. Looking out on the Blue Ridge
I pulled a pebble from my shoe
I threw it down into the valley
Then I sat and thought of you
I wish somehow it was that easy
To just let go of all the pain
But it's not, so I keep walkin'
In the Appalachian Rain
Bridge:
You could meet me at Katahdin
On that clear September day
is
But if you're not there where the trail ends,
I'll still be okay
