I Stopped To Fill My Car Up by Stereophonics
I Stopped To Fill My Car Up
Chords Em/g = 3rd fret 103230
G/B = 020430
Am Em/G F
I stopped to fill my car up
"" "" ""
The car felt good that day
"" "" ""
I didn't know where I was going
"" "" ""
But it felt good for change
A five and a pocket full of silver
I paid the lady no change SAME AS ABOVE
And then it started to piss down
I started driving again
C G/B
And then I looked up
Am G F
And looked in the mirror behind me x2
A man around forty in the back seat
Must have stepped in when I was empty Reapeat as top
So why's he sat there just waiting
Likely to smash my face in
He had a bag full of money
He said just drive me away
I didn't know where I was going Repeat as above
Yet it felt good to be strange
C G/B
And still I look up
Am G F
And look in the mirror behind me x2
Curiosity is over
He stepped down from the car
He pulled a gun from his jacket Repeat like the top
Said I was going to die
It gives me so much satisfaction
To watch you beg and cry Repeat like the top
Well I just made up this story
To get your attention makes me smile
I never looked up
Repeat
Or looked in the mirror behind me

After this kelly play a long solo that i haven't worked out yet, but on
the video he gradually makes his way up the fretboeard using mainly the
D and G strings, try it yourselves to see if you come up with anything.
The lastfew bars are as follows.

Those bends on the G string get slower each time and the last one is a
long slow bend up and then bent back down, and the last two notes
played are played slowly and allowed to ring. A piano play a little
riff right at the end so try appregiating some chords from the song to
get the sound if you like.
