Lyrics

Verse 1:
The Cherokee roamed these hills
This place that I call home
Their past discarded, so broken-hearted
A trail of tears where they've gone

Verse 2:
Tyranny wore an iron chain
The wrongs of the past came crashing down
A divided nation torn in two
Their blood spilled on this very ground

Pre Chorus
I hope we learned from those days
Let's not repeat our mistakes

Chorus 1:
Smoky Mountain majesty, I was just a child
Breath-taking beauty, God's country, where his creatures roam wild
Smoky Mountain majesty, through your forests I did roam
Still misty mornings, dreams unbroken, this place that I call home

Instrumental Break (Chorus Chords)

Verse 3:
With a piercing roar the forests fell
It's dwellers had to flee
After cries of outrage the land was saved
Shielded from human greed
Verse 4:
So many days have come and gone
Now we've turned the page
For all the struggles that lie ahead
The past we can't erase

Pre Chorus
Into your woodlands I gaze
Your splendor takes me away-ay-ay

Chorus 2:
Smoky Mountain majesty, I was just a child
Breath-taking beauty, God's country, where his creatures roam wild
Smoky Mountain majesty, through your forests I did roam
Still misty mornings, dreams unbroken, this place that I call home
Eww Woah Ohh Woah, Smokey Mountain majesty
Eww Woah Ohh Woah, Gatlinburg, Gatlinburg, Tennessee
Eww Woah Ohh Woah, Gatlinburg, Gatlinburg, Tennessee
Eww Woah Ohh Woah, Smokey Mountain, Smokey Mountain majesty
