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
