Carl Perkins Cadillac Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

F- F -Dm-C for the F , im not sure what you would call the chord but

F- F -Dm-C Cooley just basically plays an open E string and doesnt

  barre the top of the F chord but plays the rest of the F

chord, hence the walking down sound. He just plays the

  first F in the intro and then lifts his 1st finger up that

was barring the first fret.

FLife ain't nothin' but a Fblendin' up all tDmhe ups and downs

 Damn it, Elvis, don't you A♯know?

 You made your mama so Cproud.

FBefore you ever made thatF record, before there ever wasDm a Sun

 Before you ever lost that A♯Cadillac, the Carl Perkins oCne.

F F Dm C

FMr. Phillips fFound ol' Johnny Cash when he waDms high

 high before he ever A♯took those pills

 and he's still too proud to Cdie.

FMr. Phillips never sFaid anything behind noDmbody's back

 like damn it Elvis, don't he A♯know?

 He ain't no JohnnyC Cash

 Mr.A♯ Phillips was the onlyA♯ maAn that Jerry LeeG still would call siFr

 I just wish Mr. DmPhillips did all of y'all, bout Cas good as you deserved

 HeA♯ did just what he said he'sA♯ goAnna do

 and the Gmoney came in Fsacks.

 Nashville's where yoA♯u go to see if what he said Cis so.

 CFarl drove his brand new CadillacF from Nashville and he went doDmwntown.

 This time they promisedA♯ him a Grammy, he turned his Cadillac Caround.

 'CaA♯use Mr. Phillips never blewA♯ enAough hot air to need a liGttle gold plated

 papeFrweight, he promised him aDm Cadillac, and put the wind in CaCrl's face.
