[CHORUS] - - - Oh [A] Maybellene, why can't you be true? Oh, [D7] Maybellene, why can't you be [A] true? You done [E7] started back doin' the [D7] things you used to [A] do.
[Verse 1] - - - [A... ] 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]
[Verse 2] - - - [A... ] 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 and I knew that was doin' my motor good
[CHORUS]
[Verse 3] - - - [A... ] Motor cooled down, the heat went down, and 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, and I caught Maybellene at the top of the hill
[CHORUS]
You done [E7] started back doin' the [D7] things you used to [A] do.
