Someday, I'm gonna ride in a Cadillac
                          Em
Gonna roll on up to those big white gates
     D
In a long one, shiny black
      G                            C          G
Gonna buy me a one-way ticket, and I won't be coming back
                  C         G
Someday I'm gonna ride in a Cadillac

       Em
Well I never had no fancy cars
     C                      G
No I never had no money for that
C
Most the time is all I can do
        D
Just to keep from sinking fast
     Em
Well in this life, there are no guarantees
         C                    G
But I'll tell you this little fact
          C
When they come and take me from this world
          D
I'm gonna go in a Cadillac

          Em
Well they say you got to work real hard
        C                       G
Just to get the things that you want
     C
Some things are so far out of reach
         D
And it's tough enough on what you got
      Em
But I know I'll never be rich and fat
  C             G
I know that's a fact
          C
When they come to take me from the world
          D
I'm gonna go in a Cadillac

Someday I'm gonna ride in a Cadillac

Em     D         C     G
When I take that final ride
Em        D     C      G
Down that last, lonely mile
Em    D       C         G
Don't shed no tears for me
C
I'll be where I want to be
D
Lying in back of that (N.C.) Cadillac
