CAPO: 3


Intro: C G Am  (4x)

verse 1
C      G        Am
I stopped in Statesville for you
   C     G        Am
When I could?ve driven straight through
    C       G    Am
But the call from the exit was loud
   C      G             Am
And I gave in too proud to be scared by the boo
C      G        Am
I stopped in Statesville for you
C  G  Am
Oooh oooh oooh

verse 2
      C       G        Am
Where they tore down the high school last year
    C      G      Am
And the line between fiction and fact isn?t clear
    C      G     Am
Someone told me old Dooley was hung on the hill
     C    G       Am
You can?t always believe what you hear
   C       G        Am
They tore down the high school last year
C  G  Am
Oooh oooh oooh
C  G  Am
Oooh oooh oooh


verse 3
   C     G     Am
I?ve always had reason to roam
  C     G     Am
If we?d ever met then, you would?ve known
    C       G      Am
But my plan for this trip was in three, stand up, smile
  C     G   Am
And leave Carolina alone
C     G   Am
Leave Carolina alone


verse 4
  C      G        Am
But I stopped in Statesville for you
   C      G        Am
When I should?ve driven straight through
    C       G    Am
But the call from the exit was loud
   C      G             Am
And I gave in too proud to be scared by the boo
C      G        Am  C  G  Am
I stopped in Statesville for you
