[Intro]
| F | F | Am | Am | Bb | C | F | F N.C.
[Verse 1]
F
I was sittin' there sellin' turnips on a flatbed truck
Am
Crunchin' on a pork rind when she pulled up
Bb C Dm Bb
She had to be thinkin' "This is where Rednecks come from"
C F
She had Hollywood written on her license plate
Am
She was lost and lookin' for the interstate
Bb C F
Needin' directions and I was the man for the job
[Chorus]
Bb C
I told her way up yonder past the caution light
Bb C
There's a little country store with an old Coke sign
Bb C Dm
You gotta stop in and ask Miss Bell for some of her sweet tea
Bb Gm
Then a left will take you to the interstate
Bb C F
But a right will bring you right back here to me
[Verse 2]
N.C. F
I was sittin' there thinkin' 'bout her pretty face
Am
Kickin' myself for not catchin' her name
Bb C Dm Bb
I threw my hat and thought, "You fool, that could've been love"
C F
I knew my old Ford couldn't run her down
Am
She probably didn't like me anyhow
Bb C F
So I watched her disappear into a cloud of dust
[Chorus]
Bb C
I told her way up yonder past the caution light
Bb C
There's a little country store with an old Coke sign
Bb C Dm
You gotta stop in and ask Miss Bell for some of her sweet tea
Bb Gm
Then a left will take you to the interstate
Bb C F
But a right will bring you right back here to me
[Bridge]
Bb C
Is this Georgia heat playin' tricks on me
F C/E Dm
Or am I really seein' what I think I see
Bb C Bbmaj7
The woman of my dreams comin' back to me
[Solo]
| F | F | Am | Am | Bb | C | F | F
[Chorus]
Bb C
She went way up yonder past the caution light
Bb N.C. C
Don't know why, but somethin' felt right
Bb C Dm
When she stopped and asked Miss Bell for some of her sweet tea
Bb C F
Mama gave her a big ol' glass and sent her right back here to me
Bb C C F
Thank God for good directions: and turnip greens

Also, in the chorus, the chord on the word "interstate" is a Gm. Like this:
Bb Gm
Then a left will take you to the interstate
Bb C F
But a right will bring you right back here to me

Bb C *Dm*
You gotta stop in and ask Miss Bell for some of her sweet tea
+6
Steven you are correct in what a capo will do but a capo is also used at times to keep the same key but have easier chord progression to play. In this case putting the capo in the 3 rd fret probably call for easier chord progression to play while still playing in the original key.
