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
