MAYBELLENE
[NOTE] This song was later covered by Johnny Rivers in the key of F, and by
Paul Revere and the Raiders in the key of G. I like to play it in G, but
this tab is in A because A is what Chuck sang it in.
(A chord plays throughout all verses)
[Intro]
A / / / 2 / / /
[Chorus]
Maybellene, why can't you be true
D7 A
Oh, Maybellene, why can't you be true
E7 D7 A
You've started back doin' the things you used to do
[Verse 1]
As I was motivatin' over the hill
I saw Maybellene in a Coupe de Ville
Cadillac rollin' on the open road
Nothin' outruns my V-8 Ford
Cadillac doin' 'bout 95
Bumper-to-bumper, rollin' side by side
[Chorus]
Maybellene, why can't you be true
D7 A
Oh, Maybellene, why can't you be true
E7 D7 A
You've started back doin' the things you used to do
[Verse 2]
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]
Maybellene, why can't you be true
D7 A
Oh, Maybellene, why can't you be true
