As recorded by Gerry & The Pacemakers (From the 1963 Album HOW DO YOU LIKE IT?) [Intro] D G7 [Chorus]
G7
Maybellene, why can't you be true

      C7                     G7
Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true

                           C7                 G7
You done started doin' the things you used to do
[Verse 1]
G7
As I was motivatin over the hill

G7
I saw Mabellene in a Coup de Ville

G7
A Cadillac a-rollin' on the open road

G7
Nothin' will outrun my V8 Ford

G7
The Cadillac doin' about ninety-five

G7
We's bumper to bumper, rollin' side by side
[Chorus]
G7
Maybellene, why can't you be true

      C7                     G7
Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true

                                C7                 G7
You done started back doin' the things you used to do
[Verse 2]
G7
The Cadillac pulled up ahead of the Ford

G7
The Ford got hot and wouldn't do no more

G7
It then got cloudy and started to rain

G7
I tooted my horn for a passin' lane

G7
The rainwater blowin' all under my hood

G7
I know that I was doin' my motor good
[Chorus]
G7
Maybellene, why can't you be true

      C7                     G7
Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true

                                C7                 G7
You done started back doin' the things you used to do
[Guitar Solo] G7 C7 G7 [Chorus]
G7
Maybellene, why can't you be true

      C7                     G7
Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true

                                C7                 G7
You done started back doin' the things you used to do
[Verse 3]
G7
The motor cooled down the heat went down

G7
And that's when I heard that highway sound

G7
The Cadillac sittin' like a ton of lead

G7
A hundred and ten half a mile ahead

G7
The Cadillac lookin' like it's sittin' still

G7
And I caught Maybellene at the top of the hill
[Chorus]
G7
Maybellene, why can't you be true

      C7                     G7
Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true

                                C7                 G7
You done started back doin' the things you used to do
[Outro] D7 G7 D7 G7
