[Verse 1]
E                               E
There she sits, buddy, just a-gleamin' in the sun
A                            E
There to greet a workin' man when his day is done
E                         E
Gonna pack my pa and I'm gonna pack my aunt
     A                          B        E
I'm gonna take them down to the Cadillac Ranch
 
[Verse 2]
 E              E
Eldorado fins, white walls and skirts
 A                                E
Drives just like a little bit of heaven here on earth
   E                            E
So when I die, buddy, throw my body in the back
A                       B          E
Take me to the junkyard in my Cadillac
 
[Chorus]
E         E
 Cadillac, Cadillac
A              E
 Long and dark, shiny and black
E              E
 Open up them engines, let 'em roar
 A                            B            E
Tearin' up the highway like a big ol' dinosaur
 
[Verse 3]
E                  E
  James Dean in a Mercury '49
 A                             E
Junior Johnson runnin' in the woods of Caroline
E                        E
Even Burt Reynolds in a black Trans-Am
     A                          B        E
I'm gonna meet them down at the Cadillac Ranch
 
[Chorus]
E         E
 Cadillac, Cadillac
A              E
 Long and dark, shiny and black
E              E
 Open up them engines, let 'em roar
 A                            B            E
Tearin' up the highway like a big ol' dinosaur

[Verse 4]
E                          E
Hey, little girlie in the blue jeans so tight
  A                     E
Drivin' all alone in a Colorado night
 E                          E
You're my last love, baby, you're my last chance
   A                           B        E
To let 'em take me down to the Cadillac Ranch
 
[Chorus]
E         E
 Cadillac, Cadillac

Tearin' up the highway like a big ol' dinosaur
 
E         E
 Cadillac, Cadillac
A              E
 Long and dark, shiny and black
E              E
 Open up them engines, let 'em roar
 A                            B            E
