Oh, Maybel[D7]lene, why can't you be [A]true
You've [E7]started back doin' the [D7]things you used to [A]do
[VERSE 1]
[As]I s[I]aw[was] May[motivatin']bellene in [over]a Cou[the]pe d[hill]e 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]
