Verse 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 



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

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 

Verse 2:

             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

  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 
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 
         D                     E                 A
