(G major) (D major) (G major) Maybellene

You've started (D major) back doing

Verse 2
(G major) As I was motivatin' over the hill
I saw Maybellene in a coup de ville.
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.

Verse 4
the things you used to do.
(G major) Pink in the mirror on top of the hill,
It's just like swallowin'

Doin' a hundred and ten gallopin'
over that hill.
Offhill curve, a downhill stretch,
Me and that Cadillac
neck by neck.

The Ford got hot and wouldn't do (D major) no more.
It then got (G major) clody and it started to rain,
I (D major) tooted my horn for
a passin' (G major) lead
The rain water (C major) (G major) blowin'
all under my (B flat major) (C major) hood,
I (G major) knew that was doin'
my motor good.

(G major) The motor cooled down,
the heat went down
And that's when I heard
that highway sound.

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.
Verse 9
Maybellene, why can't you be (G major) true?
Oh (C major) Maybellene, why can't
you be (G major) true? (D major)
You've started back doing the things

you used to do.
