[Intro 1]
[Guitar]
[A]

[Chorus 1]
Maybel[A]lene, why can't you be true?
Oh, Maybel[D]lene, why can't you be [A]true?
You done [E]started doin' the things
you used to [A]do

[Verse 1]
As [A]I was motivatin' over the hill
I saw Maybellene in a Coupe de Ville
A Cadillac rollin' on an open road
but nothin' outrun my V8 Ford
The [A]Cadillac doin' about ninety-five
She's bumper to bumper rollin' side to side

[Chorus 2]
Maybel[A]lene, why can't you be true?
Oh, Maybel[D]lene, why can't you be [A]true?
You done [E]started back doin' the things
you used to [A]do

[Verse 2]
The [A]Cadillac pulled up
to a hundred and four
The Ford got hot and wouldn't do no more
It done got a cloud and started to rain
I tooted my horn for the passin' lane
The [A]rain water blowin' all under my hood
I knew that was doin' my motor good

[Chorus 3]
Maybel[A]lene, why can't you be true?
Oh, Maybel[D]lene, why can't you be [A]true?
You done [E]started back doin' the things
you used to [A]do

[Chorus 4]
Oh, Maybel[A]lene, why can't you be true?
Oh, Maybel[D]lene, why can't you be [A]true?
You done [E]started back doin' the things
you used to [A]do

[Verse 3]
The [A]motor cooled down
the heat went down
And that's when I heard that highway sound
Cadillac settin' like a ton of lead
a hundred and ten a half a mile ahead
[A]Cadillac lookin' like it's sittin' still
and I caught Maybellene at the top of the hill

[Chorus 5]
Maybel[A]lene, why can't you be true?
Oh, Maybel[D]lene, why can't you be [A]true?
You done [E]started back doin' the things
you used to [A]do
