R: 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
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

R: Maybellene...
   
2. 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

R: Maybellene... (2x)

3. 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

R: Maybellene...
