Maybel- [/] [A] lene, [/] why can't you be [/] true?  [/] [A] 
Oh, Maybel- [/] [D7] lene, [/] why can't you be [/] [A] true? [/] [A]
You've [/] [E7] started back doing the [/] [D7] things you used to [/] [A] do [/] [A]
{eoc}


As [/] [A] I was motivatin' [/] over the hill
I [/] [A] saw Maybellene in a [/] coup de ville
A [/] [A] Cadillac a-rollin' on the [/] open road,
[/] [A] Nothin' will outrun my [/] V8 Ford
The [/] [A] Cadillac doin' 'bout [/] ninety-five,
She's [/] [A] bumper to bumber rollin' [/] side by side


{soc}
Maybel- [/] [A] lene, [/] why can't you be [/] true?  [/] [A] 
Oh, Maybel- [/] [D7] lene, [/] why can't you be [/] [A] true? [/] [A]
You've [/] [E7] started back doing the [/] [D7] things you used to [/] [A] do [/] [A]
{eoc}


The [/] [A] Cadillac pulled up ahead [/] of the Ford,
The [/] [A] Ford got hot and wouldn't [/] do no more
It [/] [A] then got cloudy and it [/] started to rain,
I [/] [A] tooted my horn for a [/] passin' lead
The [/] [A] rain water blowin' all [/] under my hood,
I [/] [A] knew that was doin' my [/] motor good


{soc}
Maybel- [/] [A] lene, [/] why can't you be [/] true?  [/] [A] 
Oh, Maybel- [/] [D7] lene, [/] why can't you be [/] [A] true? [/] [A]
You've [/] [E7] started back doing the [/] [D7] things you used to [/] [A] do [/] [A]
{eoc}

Maybel- [/] [A] lene, [/] why can't you be [/] true?  [/] [A] 
Oh, Maybel- [/] [D7] lene, [/] why can't you be [/] [A] true? [/] [A]
You've [/] [E7] started back doing the [/] [D7] things you used to [/] [A] do [/] [A]
{eoc}


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


{soc}
Maybel- [/] [A] lene, [/] why can't you be [/] true?  [/] [A] 
Oh, Maybel- [/] [D7] lene, [/] why can't you be [/] [A] true? [/] [A]
You've [/] [E7] started back doing the [/] [D7] things you used to [/] [A] do [/] [A]
You've [/] [E7] started back doing the [/] [D7] things you used to [/] [A] do [/] [A↓]
