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
