  • Verse 1

    As I 
    was motivatin' 

    over the hill 

    I saw 
    Maybellene in a 
    Coupé de Ville 

    A Cadillac 
    a- 
    rollin on 
    the open road 

    Nothin' 
    will outrun 
    my V- 
    8 Ford 

    The Cadillac 
    doin' 
    'bout 
    95 

    She bumper 
    to bumper, 

    rollin' side 
    by side 

    Verse 2
    Maybellene, why can't 
    you be true? 
    Oh, 

    Maybellene, why 
    can't 

    you be true? 

    You done 
    started 
    back doin' 
    the things 

    you used 
    to do 


    Verse 3
    The Cadillac 
    pulled 
    up at 104 

    The Ford 
    got hot 
    and wouldn't do 

    no 
    more 

    It done got cloudy 
    and started 
    to rain 

    I tooted 
    my horn 
    for the passin' 
    lane 

    The 
    rain water blowin' 

    all 
    under 
    my hood 

    I knew 
    that wasn't doin' 

    my motor 
    good 

    Verse 4
    Maybellene, why 
    can't 
    you 

    be true? 

    Oh, Maybellene, why 
    can't 

    you be true? 

    You done started 
    back doin' the things you 

    used to do 

    Maybellene, why 
    can't you be 
    true? 
    Oh, Maybellene, why can't you 

    be true? 

    Verse 5

    You done 
    started 
    back doin' 

    the things 
    you used 
    to do 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 6
    The motor 
    cooled down, 

    the heat 
    went down 

    And that's 
    when I heard 

    that highway 
    sound 

    Cadillac 
    sittin' 
    like 
    ton 
    of lead 

    110, a half 
    mile ahead 

    The Cadillac 
    lookin' 

    like it's sittin' 
    still 

    And I caught 
    Maybellene at the top 

    of 
    the hill 

    Maybellene, why 
    Verse 7
    can't 
    you be true? 

    Oh, 
    Maybellene, why can't 

    you 
    be true? 

    You 
    done 
    started 
    back doin' 

    the things 
    you used 
    to 
    do

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
