Tom: A Intro: A Chorus: 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 A As I was motivatin' over the hill A I saw Maybellene in a Coupe de Ville A Cadillac rollin' on the open road A Nothin' outruns my V-8 Ford A Cadillac doin' 'bout 95 A Bumper-to-bumper, rollin' side by side **Chorus A Cadillac rolled up ahead of the Ford A The Ford got hot, wouldn't do no more A It soon got cloudy and it started to rain A I tooted my horn for the passing lane A Rain was pourin' under my hood A I knew that was doin' my motor good **Chorus Instrumental: A D7 A E7 D7 A **Chorus A Motor cooled down, the heat went down A That's when I heard that highway sound A The Cadillac sittin' like a ton of lead A 110 half a mile ahead A The Cadillac looked like it was sittin' still A I caught Maybellene at the top of the hill **Chorus
