Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am][Em][Am]
As I was motivatin'
over the hill
[Em]I saw Maybellene in a [Am]Coupé de Ville
A Cadillac a- rollin on the open road
Nothin' will outrun my V- 8 Ford
The Cadillac doin' [F]'bout [G]95
She bumper to bumper,
rollin' side [F]by side[Am]

[Verse 2]
Maybellene, why can't you be true? Oh,
[F]Maybellene, why can't
[Am]you be true?
You done [G]started back doin' the things
you used [Am]to do
[Em][Am]

[Verse 3]
[Am]The Cadillac pulled up at 104
The Ford [Em]got hot and wouldn't do
no [Am]more
It done got cloudy and started to rain
I tooted my horn [Em]for the passin' [Am]lane
The rain water blowin'
all under [F]my hood
[G]I knew that wasn't doin'
my motor [F]good

[Verse 4]
Maybellene, why can't you
[Am]be true?
Oh, Maybellene, why can't
you be true?
You done started back doin' the things you
used to do
Maybellene, why [F]can't you be true? Oh, Maybellene, why can't you
[Am]be true?

[Verse 5]
You done [G]started back doin'
the things you used [Am]to do

[Interlude 1]
[Am]

[Verse 6]
The motor [Am]cooled down,
the heat went down
And that's [Em]when I heard
[Am]that highway sound
Cadillac sittin' like ton of lead
[Em]A 110, a half mi[Am]le ahead
The Cadillac lookin'
like it's sittin' [F]still
[G]And I caught Maybellene at the top
of the hill
[F]Maybellene, why

[Verse 7]
[Am]can't you be true?
Oh, Maybellene, why can't
[F]you [Am]be true?[G]
[Am]You [G]done started back doin'
the things you used [Am]to d[Em]o
[Am]
