Elvis Presley

Tom: A
Intro:  A

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
