Kodachrome Mabellene

[Intro] E

[Verso 1]

E                                 
When I think back on all the crap 
               A
I learned in high school
F#m           B                E
It's a wonder I can think at all
    A    B

E                             
And though my lack of education 
              A
hasn't hurt me none
F#m           B                 E
I can read the writing on the wall

[Estribillo]

A     C#      F#
Kodachrooooooome
                   Bm         
They give us those nice bright 
         E
colors
                    A        D
They give us the greens of summers
                 B             E  
Makes you think all the world's a 
      A    C#     F#
sunny day, oh yeah
          Bm     E
I got a Nikon camera
                 A        D
I love to take a photograph
                 B       E       
So Mama don't take my Kodachrome 
A        C#m       F#m        B B
away

[Verso 2]
             E                  
If you took all the girls I knew 
               A
when I was single
 F#m                   B          
And brought them all together for 
       E        A       B
one night
E                                 
I know they'd never match my sweet
        A
 imagination
F#m                 B            
Everything looks better in black 
      E
and white

  A                      C#m
Maybellene, why can't you be true?
     F#m                        
Oh, Maybellene, why can't you be 
  A
true?
         D                     
You've started back doing those 
E                 A
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                        
Oh, Maybellene, why can't you be 
  A
true?
         D                     
You've started back doing those 
E                 A
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                        
Oh, Maybellene, why can't you be 
  A
true?
         D                     
You've started back doing those 
E                 A
things you used to do
         D                     
You've started back doing those 
E                 A
things you used to do
