Intro: 	G / D / A4 / Bm /
        G / A4 / D / D /

  Bm       A4          D/Fis1. Setting out on this journey

  G              DI packed up my regrets

      Bm       A4      GNow I sit here in this shelter

        A4              BmSeems I don't have many left

       G                DSo I'm writing you this letter

        A4          BmOn this rainy April day

              G        D        A4 BmYou said your heart needed some distance

G    A4      DSo I walked away


CHORUS:

A4      D                D        G              DI would gladly walk from Georgia, all the way to Maine

        G                        D/FisI would cross the creeks and the mountain peaks

Bm              A4Whispering your name

       G                D/FisIf you asked me I would do this

        G      D/Fis  A4I would go and not complain

         G          D      A4      BmBut this walk's for me, to find my peace

       G   A4      DIn the Appalachian rain


  Bm       A4         D/Fis2. Looking out on the Blue Ridge

           G              DI pulled a pebble from my shoe

           Bm     A4     GI threw it down into the valley

     A4                   BmThen I sat and thought of you

           G               DI wish somehow it was that easy

            A4            BmTo just let go of all the pain

         G       D      A4 BmBut it's not, so I keep walkin'

       G   A4      DIn the Appalachian Rain


CHORUS


Bridge:

          A4           A4You could meet me at Katahdin

        Bm              BmOn that clear September day
              G                   D/FisBut if you're not there where the trail ends,

G              A4I'll still be okay

CHORUS
