As recorded by The Everly Brothers (From the 1965 Album ROVCK' N SOUL) [Intro] G [Verse 1]
G
As I was motivatin' over the hill

G
I saw Maybelline in a Coupe de Ville

G
Cadillac rollin' on an open road

G
But nothin' outrun my V8 Ford

G
Cadillac doin' about ninety-five

G
Bumper to bumper rollin' side to side
[Chorus]
G7
Maybelline why can't you be true?

      C7                    G7
Maybelline why can't you be true?

            D7                     C7                 G7
You've done started back doin' the things you used to do
[Verse 2]
G
Well the Cadillac pulled up ahead of the Ford

G
The Ford got hot, wouldn't do no more

G
It done got cloudy and started to rain

G
Tooted my horn for the passin' lane

G
The rain water poured up under my hood

G
Knew that were doin' my motor good
[Chorus]
G7
Maybelline why can't you be true?

      C7                    G7
Maybelline why can't you be true?

            D7                     C7                 G7
You've done started back doin' the things you used to do
[Guitar Solo] G7 C7 G7 D7 C7 G7 [Verse 3]
G
The heat went down and the motor cooled down

G
That's when I heard that highway sound

G
Cadillac looked like a ton of lead

G
A hundred and ten a half a mile ahead

G
Cadillac looked like it's standin' still

G
And I caught Maybelline at the top of the hill
[Chorus]
G7
Maybelline why can't you be true?

      C7                    G7
Maybelline why can't you be true?

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