Maybellene – Chuck Berry
Nghệ sĩ: Chuck Berry
Hợp Âm Chuẩn
MAYBELLENE
[NOTE] This song was later covered by Johnny Rivers in the key of F, and by
Paul Revere and the Raiders in the key of G. I like to play it in G, but
this tab is in A because A is what Chuck sang it in.
(A chord plays throughout all verses)
Intro
/ / / 2 / / /
Maybellene, why can't you be true
Oh, Maybellene, why can't you be true
You've started back doin' the things you used to do
Verse 1→ Phiên khúc
As I was motivatin' over the hill
I saw Maybellene in a Coupe de Ville
Cadillac rollin' on the open road
Nothin' outruns my V-8 Ford
Cadillac doin' 'bout 95
Bumper-to-bumper, rollin' side by side
Maybellene, why can't you be true
Oh, Maybellene, why can't you be true
You've started back doin' the things you used to do
Verse 2→ Phiên khúc
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
Maybellene, why can't you be true
Oh, Maybellene, why can't you be true
You've started back doin' the things you used to do
(instrumental, same pattern as chorus)
Maybellene, why can't you be true
Oh, Maybellene, why can't you be true
You've started back doin' the things you used to do
Verse 3→ Phiên khúc
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 Maybellene at the top of the hill
Maybellene, why can't you be true
Oh, Maybellene, why can't you be true
You've started back doin' the things you used to do
