[Verse 1]
          E
Well, the well went dry and the cow did too
 
And daddy didn't know what to do
 
The banker came by the house one day
 
He said he's gonna take the farm away
     A
Then mama came up with a plan
   E
My brother and me started up a band
   A
My sister put a sign on the roof
    B
And daddy bought a case of 90 proof
 
[Chorus]
A                    E
Now we called it the Cadillac Ranch
B                           E
They're parking cars in the old bean patch
          A                       E           A
There's a bar in the barn and the place stays packed
         E                 B        E
Till the cows come home at Cadillac Ranch
 
[Verse 2]
        E
Now the only thing that we raise is cane
 
You don't need the sun or rain
 
Just some neon lights saying some ice cold beer
 
Keeps everything green around here
A
Mama takes the cash at the door
   E
My brother and me keep 'em out on the floor
   A
My sister sets them up at the bar
    B
And daddy kicks back with a big cigar
 
[Chorus]
A                    E
Now we called it the Cadillac Ranch
B                           E
They're parking cars in the old bean patch
          A                       E           A
There's a bar in the barn and the place stays packed
         E                 B        E
Till the cows come home at Cadillac Ranch
 
(Solo)
 
[Bridge]
         A
Well, we gave all the cows away
        E
Now the only horns around here today
        A
Are the ones up on the grill
     B
Of a genuine '59 Coupe Deville
 
[Chorus]
A                    E
Now we called it the Cadillac Ranch
B                           E
They're parking cars in the old bean patch
          A                       E           A
There's a bar in the barn and the place stays packed
         E                 B        E
Till the cows come home at Cadillac Ranch
 
A                    E
Now we called it the Cadillac Ranch
B                           E
They're parking cars in the old bean patch
          A                       E           A
There's a bar in the barn and the place stays packed
         E                 B        E
Till the cows come home at Cadillac Ranch
