Maybelline

Words & Music:

Chuck Berry

CHORUS:

Maybelline, why can't you be true?

D7 A

Oh, Maybelline, why can't you be true?

E7 D7 A

You've started back doin' the things you used to do.

[verses are all an A chord]

As I was motivatin' over the hill, I saw Maybelline in a Coupe de Ville.

Cadillac rollin' on the open road, but nothin' outruns my V-8 Ford.

Cadillac doin' 'bout 95, 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 CHORUS:

CHORUS:

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 Maybelline at the top of the hill.
