Version 1 Version 3
            This is a great song Live.  On the river album it's played in the key of G,
 when they play it live it's in the Key of F.  This tab is for the live 
verion, but I'll include chords for the album version as well.

Now for the chords I use a capo on the first fret because I hate playing 
bar chords.  So, instead of playing F, Bb, and C, with the capo on 
I play E, A and Bsus.  If you're playing the studio version, the 
chords are G, C, and D.

So, the chords translate like this:
 With 1st fret capo
F  = E
Bb = A
C  = Bsus

 Studio Version
F  = G
Bb = C
C  = D


[Verse 1]
F
Well there she sits buddy just a-gleamin' in the sun
Bb                            F
There to greet a workin' man when his day is done
F
I'm gonna pack my pa and I'm gonna pack my aunt.
    Bb                          C        F
I'm gonna take them down to the Cadillac ranch.

[Verse 2]
F
Eldorado fins, white walls and skirts.
Bb                              F
Rides just like a little bit of heaven here on Earth.
F
Well buddy when I die, throw my body in the back.
Bb                          C          F
RAnd drive me to the junkyard in my Cadillac .

[Chorus]
F
Cadillac, Cadillac.
Bb             F
Long and dark. Shiny and black.
F
Open up. Your engines let em' roar.
Bb                            C           F
Tearin' up the highway like a big old dinosaur.

[Verse 3]
F
James Dean in that Mercury '49.
Bb                                 F
Junior Johnson runnin' through the woods of Caroline.
F
Even Burt Reynolds in that black Trans Am
Bb                            C        F
All gonna meet me down at the cadillac ranch.

[Chorus]
F
Cadillac. Cadillac.
Bb             F
Long and dark, shiny and black.
F
Open up. Your engines let em' roar.
Bb                            C           F
Tearin' up the highway just a big old dinosaur.

[Verse 4]
F
Little girlie in the blue jeans so tight
Bb                        F
Drivin' along through the Wisconsin night
F
You're my last love, you're my last chance
Bb                                C        F
Don't let em' take me down to the cadillac ranch.

Long and dark, shiny and black.

Bb            C              F
Came and took my little girl away.

F
Cadillac. Cadillac.
Bb             F
Long and dark, shiny and black.
F
Open up. Your engines let 'em roar.
Bb                            C           F
Tearin' up the highway like a big old dinosaur.
