#1.
            G
Well, I was toolin' down the highway in my

beat up fifty-three..smokin' like a steamship

with the po-lice after me.
       C
When I passed the business district, just then 
         G
I saw..a Cadillac Motor sign sayin', trade your 

run-down car.
        D
Well, I pulled up in the alley tore my clutch right 
                          G
outta the floor and I was half-way in the dealer's

when the cops flew by the door.

CHORUS:
G
I want the Cadillac, mister dealer..like they build in 
           G7
fifty-nine.
       C
I want the Cadillac, mister dealer..one that'll blast-off
           G
'cross the line.
           D                      C                   G   D
And when I hit that open roadway..man, I really wanna fly.

#2.
        G
Well, I bought that big black Cadillac and I took off down 

the road..I adjusted my rear view mirror then I spied that 

po-lice Ford.
         C
They was comin' after me, boy, with their red lights all aglow..
     G
so I whupped that wheel around and I took off down a dirt 

side-road.
     D                                          C
That big machine wouldn't make the turn and the cops they 

grabbed a-hold of me.
        G
And the last I seen my Cadillac, it was wrapped around a tree.

OUTRO:
           C
I want the Cadillac, mister dealer..
           G
I want the Cadillac, mister dealer..
          C

               G
gotta have the Cadillac, mister dealer..
           C
I want the Cadillac, mister dealer..
           G                       D..G C G
I want the Cadillac, mister dealer.........(Fade.)
