Long White Cadillac
Performed by Dwight Yoakam
Written by Dave Alvin
CD: "Just Lookin' For A Hit"
This is my first attempt at writing out the chords to a song, so I'm not sure
how accurate it is- I play it this way though, and I think it sounds pretty
good. To really appreciate this song and how well it's written, I think you
have to know what Hank Williams was going through in the time leading up to
his death (the song is written about him).
[E] Night wolves moan
Winter hills are black
I'm all al-[A]one
Sitting in the [E] back
Of a long white [B7] Cadil-[E]lac
[E] Train whistle cries
Lost on its own track
I close my [A] eyes
Sitting in the [E] back
Of a long white [B7] Cadil-[E]lac
Chorus:
[A] Sometimes I blame it on a [E] woman
[A] The one who made my poor heart [E] bleed
[A] Sometimes I blame it on the [E] money
[A] Sometimes I blame it all on [B7] me
Headlights [E] shine
Highway fades to black
It's my last [A] ride
Sitting in the [E] back
Of a long white [B7] Cadil-[E]lac
Chorus
Train whistle [E] cries
Lost on its own track
I close my [A] eyes
Ain't never comin' [E] back
In a long white [B7] Cadil-[E]lac
In a [A] long white Cadil-[E]lac
In a [A] long white Cadil-[E]lac
In a [A] long white Cadil-[E]lac
In a [B7] long white Cadil-[E]lac
