Chorus: A# Maybellene, why can't you be true D#7 A# Oh, Maybellene, why can't you be true F7 D#7 A# You've started back doin' the things you used to do A# As I was motorvatin' over the hill I saw Maybellene in a Coupe DeVille A Cadillac a-rollin' on the open road Nothin' will outrun my V8 Ford The Cadillac doin' 'bout ninety-five She's bumper to bumper rollin' side by side Chorus: Maybellene, why can't you be true? Oh, Maybellene, why can't you be true? You've started back doing the things you used to do A Cadillac pulled up to one hundred and four The Ford got hot and wouldn't do no more It done got a cloud and started to rain I tooted my horn for the passin' lane The rain water blowin' all under my hood I knew that was doin' my motor good Chorus: Maybellene, why can't you be true? Oh, Maybellene, why can't you be true? You done started back doing the things you used to do Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true You done started back doing the things you used to do The motor cooled down, the heat went down And that's when I heard that highway sound The Cadillac a-sittin' like a ton of lead A hundred and ten a half a mile ahead The Cadillac lookin' like it's sittin' still And I caught Maybellene at the top of the hill Chorus: Maybellene, why can't you be true? Oh, Maybellene, why can't you be true?
