Cadillac Blues

Words & Music:

Karen Lawrence (Blue By Nature)

 

I                       IV                       I

Baby, why you walkin'?  Come on and ride my Cadillac.

IV                                              I

Baby why you walkin'?  Come on and ride my Cadillac.

         V                    IV                      I

Got them custom leather seats for lovey-dovin' in the back.

 

Let me show you, baby, what this big ole' car can do.

Let me show you, baby, what this big ole' car can do.

When I get my engine runnin' hot, I get your motor goin', too.

 

BRIDGE:

I  [stop chords]

I start her up, shift her down.

I                         [chromatic bass up]

In second gear, I'm gonna take you to town.

IV                                  I

Oh!  Baby, come on and ride my Cadillac.  Yeah!

         V                    IV                      I

Got them custom leather seats for lovey-dovin' in the back.

 

INSTRUMENTAL VERSE:

 

I'll do all the drivin', you just sit back enjoy the ride.

I'm gonna do all the drivin', honey, you just sit back enjoy the ride.

I got my V-8 workin', honey, automatic overdrive.

 

INSTRUMENTAL VERSE WITH STOP CHORDS:

 

Sure feels good, baby, when I'm in the driver's seat.

Oo-ooh-wee, daddy!  Sure feels good to me.

Baby, you must agree nobody drives as hard as me.

 

I just start her up, shift her down.

In second gear, I'm gonna run ya to the ground.

Oh!  Baby, come on and ride my Cadillac.

Got them custom leather seats for lovey-dovin' in the back.
