Living down in Memphis, back in '75, we were scuffling hard just barely staying alive,

D MajorD                 D MajorD        A augmentedA     A augmentedA
money's kind of scarce when you're just an opening act,

 E MajorE             D MajorD       A augmentedA   A augmentedA    A augmentedA    A augmentedA
last thing on my mind was a Fleetwood Cadillac.

Verse 2:

    A augmentedA           A augmentedA          A augmentedA              A augmentedA
We were cruising downtown just on a Sunday drive, I looked out on a car lot and something caught my eye:

A augmentedA            A augmentedA          A augmentedA  N.C.
it was Baby Blue, had a rolls royce grill, a continental kit and silver spokes on the wheels.

 D MajorD             D MajorD            A augmentedA     A augmentedA
I put some money down and I told the man I would be back,

 E MajorE            D MajorD       A augmentedA   A augmentedA
I knew I had to have that Fleetwood Cadillac.

Verse 3:

 A augmentedA                A augmentedA              A augmentedA             A augmentedA
I drove it up to Nashville, I was feeling kinda proud but the billies: said it's gaudy, just too loud.

D MajorD            D MajorD            A augmentedA     A augmentedA
That's all right, I was willing to take a little flak,

  E MajorE             D MajorD       A augmentedA   A augmentedA
you do what you must do for a Fleetwood Cadillac.

Verse 4:

    A augmentedA            A augmentedA            A augmentedA               A augmentedA
It was just too long, wouldn't fit in my garage, Uncle Sam was in the distance and it was not a mirage,

D MajorD               D MajorD        A augmentedA     A augmentedA
said he needed money for some previous income tax,

   E MajorE            D MajorD          A augmentedA   A augmentedA
oh, I had to let it go but now I want my Fleetwood back.

Solo:

Verse 4:

  A augmentedA          A augmentedA             A augmentedA                 A augmentedA
The new Cadillacs, it's hard to even tell 'em, the colors ain't too cool and they're shaped like a

    D MajorD             D MajorD             A augmentedA     A augmentedA
watermelon; if they give me one I don't think I would even react,

E MajorE          D MajorD          A augmentedA   A augmentedA
one thing on my mind: I want my Fleetwood back.
