Capo I

tune low E to D

Bm Asus4 D/Fis

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

G D/Fis

I would cross the creeks and the mountain peaks

Whispering your name

G D/Fis

If you asked me I would do this

G D/Fis Asus4

I would go and not complain

But this walk's for me, to find my peace

In the Appalachian rain

Bm Asus4 D/Fis

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

CHORUS

Bridge:

You could meet me at Katahdin

On that clear September day

G D/Fis

But if you're not there where the trail ends,

I'll still be okay

CHORUS
