A
Maybellene, why can't you be true
D7 A
Oh, Maybellene, why can't you be true
E7 D7 A
You've started back doin' the things you used to do
As I was motivatin' over the hill I saw Maybellene in a Coupe de Ville
Cadillac rollin' on the open road Nothin' outruns my V-8 Ford
Cadillac doin' 'bout 95 Bumper-to-bumper, rollin' side by side
Chorus
Cadillac rolled up ahead of the Ford The Ford got hot, wouldn't do no more
It soon got cloudy and it started to rain I tooted my horn for the passing lane
Rain was pourin' under my hood I knew that was doin' my motor good
Chorus
(instrumental, same pattern as chorus)
Chorus
Motor cooled down, the heat went down That's when I heard that highway sound
The Cadillac sittin' like a ton of lead 110 half a mile ahead
The Cadillac looked like it was sittin' still. I caught Maybellene at the top of the hill
Chorus
