[Intro 1]
[G][D][G][D][G][D][G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]You've
been called America's Poets
You started [C]out [G]as a [Am]gospel [G]quar[D]tet
You [G]entertained on and [D]off of the [G]re cord
And your [C]re cords [G]we'll [Am]never [G]forget
[D]You've sol[Em]d out shows to millio[C]ns
And sang your [Am]part in four matching [D]suits
and ac[G]cepted your awards,
and [C]al ways thanked the Lord in [G]tuxedos
and patent [D]leather boot[G]s.
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 [A]love you better
than we [D]did then
We love [G]Shirley Jean Bur[C]rell and Eliza[G]beth
A bed of roses makes [D]me Atlanta [G]blue
And thank you world
for [C]giving us the [G]statlers
Cause we'll go to our [D]grave loving
[G]you[C][G][Em][D][G][C][G]
You wrote songs about making memories
And [C]child[G]hood her[Am]oes y[G]ears ago
[D]And then you[G] met all[D] of your her[G]oes
And [C]had them [G]on your [Am]televi[G]sion shows
[D]But you nev[Em]er forgot where you[C] came from
Or got [Am]lost in the fortune and [D]fame
From [G]flowers on the wall
to [C]the last curtain call
Country mu[G]sic will [D]never be [G]the same
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 [A]love you better
than we [D]did then
We loved [G]Susan when [C]she tried
and Eliza[G]beth
Better frozes makes [D]me Atlanta [G]blue
And thank you world
for [C]givin' us the [G]Stadler's
Cause we'll go to our
[D]grave [G]lovin' you
America [C]salutes the Stadler [G]brothers
Cause we'll go to our
[D]grave [C]lovin' you
Loving [G]you
