Bb F
[Chorus]
Bb MaybeBbllene, why can't you be true?
Oh Maybellene,Eb why can't you be Bbtrue?
You've Fstarted back doin' the things you used to do Bb
[Verse 1]
As BbI was motorvatin' over the hill
I saw Maybellene in a Coupe de Ville
A Cadillac a rollin' on the open road
Nothin' will outrun my V 8 Ford
The Cadillac doin' about ninetyfive
She's bumper to bumper, rollin' side by side
[Chorus]
MaybeBbllene, why can't you be true?
Oh Maybellene,Eb why can't you be Bbtrue?
You've Fstarted back doin' the things you used to do Bb
[Verse 2]
The BbCadillac pulled up to a hundred and four
The Ford got hot and wouldn't do no more
It then got cloudy and started to rain
I tooted my horn for the passin' lane
The rainwater blowin' all under my hood
I know that I was doin' my motor good
[Chorus]
Maybellene, why can't you be true?
Oh Maybellene,Eb why can't you be Bbtrue?
You've Fstarted back doin' the things you used to do Bb
[Solo]
Eb Bb F Bb
Eb Bb F Bb
[Chorus]
Oh MaybeBbllene, why can't you be true?
Oh Maybellene,Eb why can't you be Bbtrue?
You've Fstarted back doin' the things you used to do Bb
[Verse 3]
The Bbmotor cooled down, the heat went down
And that's when I heard that highway sound
The Cadillac asittin' like a ton of lead
A hundred and ten half a mile ahead
The Cadillac lookin' like it's sittin' still
And I caught Mabellene at the top of the hill
[Chorus]
MaybeBbllene, why can't you be true?
Oh Maybellene,Eb why can't you be Bbtrue?
You've Fstarted back doin' the things you used to do Bb
