[A]
You've been called America's Poets, who [D] started [A] out [Bm] as a [A] gospel [E] quartet.
[A] You entertained on and [E] off [A] of the record, [D] and your [A] records [Bm] we'll [A] never [E] forget.
[F#m] You've sold out [D] shows to millions, and [Bm] sang your part in four [E] matching suits,
[A] and accepted your [D] awards, and always thanked the Lord in [A] [E] tuxedos and patent [A] leather boots.
So carry [D] me back to [A] Virginia, and let us hear [E] how great thou [A] art again.
And if you [D] ever hear the stage a [A]-callin', we'll [B] even love you better than [E] we did then.
[A] We love Shirley [D] Jean Burrell [A] and Elizabeth, and Edith [E] Rose's makes me [A] Atlanta blue.
And thank you [D] world for giving [A] us the Statler's, cause we'll go [E] to our grave [A] loving you.
You [D]
[A] [F#m] [E]
[A] [D] [A] [D] [A]
wrote songs about making memories, [D] and [A] [Bm] childhood [A] heroes [E] years ago.
And [A] you met [E] all of [A] your heroes, [D] and [A] had them [Bm] on your [A] television [E] shows.
[F#m] But you never forgot where [D] you came from, [Bm] oh it got lost in the fortune [E] hand thing.
[A] From flowers on the wall to [D] the last curtain call, [A] country music [E] will never be [A] the same.
So carry [D] me back to [A] Virginia, and let us hear [E] how great thou [A] art again.
And if you [D] ever hear the stage [A] a-callin', we'll [B] even love you better than [E] we did then.
We [A] love Susan Wynne, [D] she tried, and [A] Elizabeth, and Edith Rose's [E] makes me [A] Atlanta blue.
And thank you world [D] for giving us [A] the Statler's, cause we'll go to [E] our grave [A] loving you.
America [D] salutes the [A] Statler brothers, cause we'll go to [E] our grave [D] loving you.
[A] Loving you.
