The Statler Brothers Song Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]You've been called America's Poets
You started [C]out [G]as a [Am]gospel [G]quar[D]tet
You're enter[G]tained on
and [D]off of the re[G]cord
And your [C]re cord will never [G]forget
[D]You've sol[Em]d out shows to mil[C]lions,
Sang your [Am]part in four matching [D]suits,
And ac[G]cepted your awards,
and [C]al ways thanked the Lord,
In tuxedos [G]and [D]patent leather [G]boots.
So carry me [C]back to Vir[G]ginia,
And let us hear how [D]great Thou art [G]again
And if you ever [C]hear the
stage a [G]-callin'
We'll even love [A]you better
than we did [D]then
We loved [G]Shirley, Jean, Bur[C]rell,
and Eliza[G]beth
Head of Roses makes [D]me an Atlanta [G]Blue
And thank you world for
[C]givin' us the [G]statlers
Cause we'll go to our [D]grave
[G]lovin' [C]you[G][Em][D][G]
You wrote songs about making memories,
And [C]child[Bm]hood heroes [G]years ago.
[D]Then you [G]met [D]all of your [G]heroes,
and [C]had them [Bm]on your [Am]television [G]show.[D]
But you [Em]never forgot where you [C]came from,
or got [Am]lost in the fortune an[D]d fame.
From [G]flowers on the wall to the
[C]last curtain call,
country [G]mu sic will [D]never be the [G]same.
So carry me [C]back to Vir[G]ginia
Let us hear how [D]great thou [G]art again
If you ever [C]hear the stage a [G]-callin'
We'll even [A]love you better
than we did [D]then
We loved [G]Susan when she
[C]tried antel[G]izabeth.
Bed of roses makes [D]me an Atlanta [G]flu.
And thank you world for [C]giving
us the [G]Stadlers.
Cause we'll go to our
[D]grave loving [G]you.
America salutes [C]the Stadler [G]brothers.
Cause we'll go to our [D]grave loving [C]you
Lov[G]ing you
