Carl Perkins Cadillac

drive - by truckers song : carl perkins cadillac album : the dirty south every other tab i have ever found for this song has been in G . they now play it in F because jason isbell doesn’t play with them anymore so they usually have some pedal steel playing with them . 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 . F ( F ) Dm life ain’t nothin’ but a blendin’ up all the ups and downs A# damn it , elvis , don’t you know? C you made your mama so proud .

Dm C new contracts and carl perkins’ cadillac F ( F ) Dm i got friends in nashville , or at least the folks i know A# C nashville’s where you go to see if what he said is so . F ( F ) Dm carl drove his brand new cadillac from nashville and he went downtown . A# C this time they promised him a grammy , he turned his cadillac around .
