CHORUS: 
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 
 
Verse 1: 
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) 
 
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)
