Verse 1:
       G
On the Pigeon River where the kudzu grows
       G
You'll swear you thought you'd seen a ghost
Am
Haunting them banks, boogering by
C

Looking for a place to lay down and die
      G
Well, that's just me a looking half dead
G
Trying to make sense of the words you said
Am
Hush little babe, don't say a thing
C
Meet me up the mountain with a wedding ring

Chorus:
      G                                           Am
And I guess that's why they call them Great Smoky Mountains
            F           C              F            C            G
'Cause they cover every trace and they hide a man's face when he cries
      G                                               Am
Yeah, I guess that's why they call them Great Smoky Mountains

'Cause they make it hard to find What became of that Smoky Mountain girl of mine

Verse 2:
         G
When the sun shines down on the Tellico plain
    G
The mountains bear the shadow's blame
     Am
When love's a little more like that
C
Just a little glimmer is all you're gonna get
      G
Well, I've seen the Rockies and the Ozarks too
     G
I've knowed a few women but none like you
Am
Hush little babe, the hills have eyes
     C
They see through the haze of your little white lies

Chorus:
      G                                           Am
And I guess that's why they call them Great Smoky Mountains
            F           C              F            C            G

On the Pigeon River where the kudzu grows

Of a heartless fool, well, that's just me

Haunting these hills of East Tennessee
