[Intro 1]
[G][D][G][D]
[A][D][G][D][G][D][A]
[D]

[Verse 1]
[D]I woke up in a hotel,
didn't know [G]what to do
[D]I turned the TV on, wrote [A]a letter to you
[D]The news was talkin' 'bout a dead
man upon the inter[G]state
Seems they [D]lookin' for a Cadillac with
[G]Tennessee plates
[D][G][D][G][Dm][D][G]

[Verse 2]
[D]Well since I left California baby,
things have [G]gotten worse
Seems the [D]land of opportunity
for [A]me is just [D]a curse
Tell that judge in Bakersfield,
my trial I'll have [G]to wait
They're [D]lookin' for a Cadillac
[A]with Tennes[G]see pla[D]tes
It was [G]somewhere in Nevada,

[Verse 3]
[G]
it was cold outside
She was [D]shiverin' in the dark,
so I offered her a ride
Three [G]bank jobs later, four cars hotwired
We [A]crossed the Mississippi like an oil [G]slick fire,
[D]Yeah!

[G][D][G]

[Verse 4]
[D]Yeah If they'd known what we was
up to they wouldn't let us [G]in
Now we [Dm]landed [D]in Memphis
[G]like [A]original [Dm]sin
Elvis Presley Boulevard to
the [G]Graceland gates
Oh, see we're [Dm]lookin' for a Cadillac with
[G]Tennessee [D]plates
[G][D][G][D][G][A][Dm]

[Verse 5]
Man, there must have [D]been a dozen
of them parked in [G]that garage
There [Dm]wasn't [D]one Lincoln and there
wasn't [Dm]one D[D]odge
[Dm]Wasn't one Japanese model [G]or make
Just [Dm]pretty, [D]pretty [G]Cadillacs' with
Tennessee [Dm]plates

[Verse 6]
[G]She saw him singing once
when she was seventeen
And [D]ever since that day she's
been living in between
I was [G]never king of nothin'
but that wild weekend
Any[A]way he wouldn't care, hell he [G]gave them [A]to his friend[G]s
