Tuning: G C E A
These are just the chords for the live performance they did in Central Park, i've had the song in my head all week so had to get it down somewhere before I forgot it. Pretty easy, and fun to play. The only awkward chords for me are the F# and the C# - I usually just play F#m in place of the F# and play the C like a B on fret 4. During "Mabellene"'s verses, I play the A alternating with Am though you may have to play about with it. [Intro] E [Verse]
EWhen I think back on all the crap I learned in hiAgh school F#mIt's a wonder BI can think at alEl A B EAnd though my lack of education hasn't hurt Ame none F#mI can read theB writing on the waEll
[Chorus]

MaAybellene, why can't youC# be true? Oh, MF#maybellene, why can't you be tArue? You've stDarted back doing thoseE things you used tAo do
AAs I was motorvatin' over the hill AI saw Maybellene in a Coup de Ville AA Cadillac rollin' on the open road ABut nothing will outrace my V8 Ford AThe Cadillac doin' 'bout ninety-five ABumper to bumper and side by side
MaAybellene, why can't youC# be true? Oh, MF#maybellene, why can't you be tArue? You've stDarted back doing thoseE things you used tAo do
AThe heat cooled down, the motor cooled down AThat's when I heard that highway sound AThe Cadillac sittin' like a ton of lead AHundred and ten half a mile ahead AThe Cadillac lookin' like it's standin' still AAnd I caught Maybellene at the top of the hill
MaAybellene, why can't youC# be true? Oh, MF#maybellene, why can't you be tArue? You've stDarted back doing thoseE things you used tAo do You've stDarted back doing thoseE things you used tAo do You've stDarted back doing thoseE things you used tAo do
