#23 in '64. [Intro] D7 G [Verse 1]
   G
As I got on a city bus and found a vacant seat,

  G
I thought I saw my future bride walking up the street,

  G
I shouted to the driver, hey conductor, you must

     G
Slow down, I think I see her. Please let me off this bus.
[Chorus]
  G
Nadine, honey is that you?

Oh, Nadine, honey, is that you?

you got something else to do.
[Verse 2]
  G
I saw her from the corner when she turned and doubled back,

    G
And started walkin' toward a coffee colored Cadillac.

      G
I was pushin through the crowd tryin' to get to where she's at.

          G
And I was campaign shouting like a southern diplomat.
[Chorus]
  G
Nadine, honey is that you?

[Verse 3]
G
Downtown searching for her, looking all around.

        G
Saw her getting in a yellow cab heading uptown.

  G
I caught a loaded taxi, paid up everybody's tab.

          G
Flipped a twenty dollar bill and told him catch that yellow cab.
[Chorus]
  G
Nadine, honey is that you?

Oh, Nadine, honey, is that you?

you up to something new
[Verse 4]
G
She moves around like a wayward summer breeze,

G
Go, driver, go, go on, catch her for me please.

G
Moving through the traffic like a mounted cavalier.

        G
Leaning out the taxi window, trying to make her hear.
[Chorus]
  G
Nadine, honey is that you?

    C9                     G
Oh, Nadine, honey, is that you?

you up to something new
