Capo I
tune low E to D
Intro: G / D / A4 / Bm /
[G] [/] [A4] [/] [D] [/] [D] [/]
1.[Bm] Setting [A4]out on this [D/Fis]journey
I [G]packed up my re[D]grets
Now I [Bm]sit here [A4]in this [G]shelter
Seems I [A4]don't have many [Bm]left
So I'm [G]writing you this [D]letter
On this [A4]rainy April [Bm]day
You said your [G]heart nee[D]ded some [A4]dis[Bm]tance
[G]So I [A4]walked a[D]way
CHORUS:
[A4]I would [D]gladly walk from [D]Georgia, [G]all the way to [D]Maine
I would [G]cross the creeks and the [D/Fis]mountain peaks
[Bm]Whispering your [A4]name
If you [G]asked me I would [D/Fis]do this
I would [G]go and [D/Fis]not com[A4]plain
But this [G]walk's for [D]me, to [A4]find my [Bm]peace
In the [G]Appa[A4]lachian [D]rain
2.[Bm] Looking [A4]out on the [D/Fis]Blue Ridge
I pulled a [G]pebble from my [D]shoe
I threw it [Bm]down in[A4]to the [G]valley
Then [A4]I sat and thought of [Bm]you
I wish some[G]how it was that [D]easy
To just let [A4]go of all the [Bm]pain
But it's [G]not, so [D]I keep [A4]wal[Bm]kin'
In the [G]Appa[A4]lachian [D]Rain
CHORUS
Bridge:
You could [A4]meet me at Ka[A4]tahdin
On that [Bm]clear September [Bm]day
But if you're [G]not there where the [D/Fis]trail ends,
[G]I'll still be o[A4]kay
