  			Em                  G              D                          A 
There is a place I like to go, in the spring, in the fall and in the snow 
Em                         G                    D                      A 
There's lots of friendly people there and you don't have to bother to cut your hair 
Em                   G              D                A 
The smokey mountains is the place to put a big smile on your face 
Em                     G              D                             A 
The trees are yellow, red and green, it's the prettiest place I've ever seen 
Em               G               D                        A 
No telephones to blow your high, nothing but clean air in the sky 
Em                   G                     D                A 
I think that heaven must be near cause the angel's voices you can hear 
Em                 G             D                   A 
It is the natural habitat for people who know just where it's at 
Em                 G                 D                     A 
Smokin' is their claim to fame and that's how the smokies got their name
