CAPO: 3rd Fret



[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
