Lyrics:

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

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

Repeat Chorus

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

Repeat Chorus

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

Repeat Chorus and Fade out
