Maybellene Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]May[D]bel[G]lene,
why can't you be true
[C]Oh, Maybellene, why can't
you be [G]true
[D]You've started back doin'
the things you used [G]to do

[Verse 2]
[G]As I was motivatin' over the hill
I saw Mabellene in a Coup de Ville
A Cadillac arollin' on the open road
Nothin' will outrun my V8 Ford
The Cadillac doin' about ninety- five
She's bumper to bumper,
rollin' side by side
Maybellene
Why can't you be true
[C]Oh, Maybellene, why
can't you be [G]true
You've star[D]ted back doin'
the things you used [G]to do

[Verse 3]
[G]The Cadillac pulled up ahead of the Ford
The Ford got hot and wouldn't do no more
It then got cloudy and started to rain
I tooted my horn for a
passin' lane
The rainwater blowin' all
under my hood
I know that I was doin' my
motor good
Maybellene
Why can't you be true
[C]Oh, Maybellene, why can't
you be [G]true
You've star[D]ted back doin' the things

[Interlude 1]
you used to do
[G]

[G]

[Verse 4]
[G]Oh, Maybellene
Why can't you be true
[C]Oh, Maybellene, why can
[G]'t you be true
You've star[D]ted back doin'

[Verse 5]
the things you used to do
[G]The motor cooled down
the heat went down
And that's when I heard
that highway sound
The Cadillac asittin' like
a ton of lead
A hundred and ten half a mile aheadv The
Cadillac lookin' like it's sittin' still
And I caught Mabellene at the top
of the hill
Maybellene
Why can't you be true
[C]Oh, Maybellene, why can't you be [G]true
[D]You've started back doin'

[Outro 1]
the things you used to do
[G]
