Oh, Maybellene, why can't you be true, 
          D                      A 
oh, Maybellene, why can't you be true? 
       E                      D                  A 
You've started back doin' the things you used to do.

As I was motivatin' over the hill, 
A 
I saw Maybellene in a Coupe de Ville 
A 
Cadillac rollin' on the open road. 
A 
Nothin' outruns my V-8 Ford, 
A 
Cadillac doin' 'bout 95, 
A 
bumper-to-bumper, rollin' side by side. 
 
(Chorus) 
  
Cadillac rolled up ahead of the Ford, 
the Ford got hot, wouldn't do no more. 
It soon got cloudy and it started to rain, 
I tooted my horn for the passing lane, 
rain was pourin' under my hood, 
I knew that was doin' my motor good. 
 
(Chorus) 
 
(Instrumental:) A D A E D A 
 
Motor cooled down, the heat went down, 
that's when I heard that highway sound. 
The Cadillac sittin' like a ton of lead, 
110 half a mile ahead. 
The Cadillac looked like it was sittin' still, 
I caught Maybellene at the top of the hill. 
 
(Chorus)
