[Intro] E

[Verso 1]

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

[Refrão]

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#m       F#m        B B
So Mama don't take my Kodachrome away

             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

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#m
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#m
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
