Lucy Wainwright Roche - Statesville

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
