Chords
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]
E A When I think back on all the crap I learned in high school F#m B E A B It's a wonder I can think at all E A And though my lack of education hasn't hurt me none F#m B E I can read the writing on the wall
[Chorus]
A C# F# Kodachrooooooome Bm E They give us those nice bright colors A D They give us the greens of summers B E A C# F# Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, oh yeah Bm E I got a Nikon camera A D I love to take a photograph B E A C# F#m B B So Mama don't take my Kodachrome away
[Verse]
E A If you took all the girls I knew when I was single F#m B E A B And brought them all together for one night E A I know they'd never match my sweet imagination F#m B E Everything looks better in black and white
[Chorus]

A C# Maybellene, why can't you be true? F#m A Oh, Maybellene, why can't you be true? D E A You've started back doing those things you used to do A As I was motorvatin' over the hill A I saw Maybellene in a Coup de Ville A A Cadillac rollin' on the open road A But nothing will outrace my V8 Ford A The Cadillac doin' 'bout ninety-five A Bumper to bumper and side by side A C# Maybellene, why can't you be true? F#m A Oh, Maybellene, why can't you be true? D E A You've started back doing those things you used to do A The heat cooled down, the motor cooled down A That's when I heard that highway sound A The Cadillac sittin' like a ton of lead A Hundred and ten half a mile ahead A The Cadillac lookin' like it's standin' still A And I caught Maybellene at the top of the hill A C# Maybellene, why can't you be true? F#m A Oh, Maybellene, why can't you be true? D E A You've started back doing those things you used to do D E A You've started back doing those things you used to do D E A You've started back doing those things you used to do
