Chuck Berry, You Never Can Tell (1964)
^{Key: :[C] (w: Chuck Berry)}

INTRO: [*R1]

VERSE 1:
It was a [C5] teenage wedding, and the old folks wished them well
You could see that Pierre did truly love the madamoi-[G5]-selle
And now the young monsieur and madame have rung the chapel bell
C'est la vie, say the old folks, it goes to show you never can [C5] tell

VERSE 2:
They furnished [C5] off an apartment with a two room Roebuck sale
The coolerator was crammed with TV dinners and ginger [G5] ale
But when Pierre found work, the little money comin' worked out well
C'est la vie, say the old folks, it goes to show you never can [C5] tell

VERSE 3:
They had a [C5] hi-fi phono, boy, did they let it blast
Seven hundred little records, all rock, rhythm and [G5] jazz
But when the sun went down, the rapid tempo of the music fell
C'est la vie, say the old folks, it goes to show you never can [C5] tell

VERSE 4:
They bought a [C5] souped-up jitney, 'twas a cherry red '53
They drove it down to Orleans to celebrate the anniversa-[G5]-ry
It was there that Pierre was married to the lovely madamoiselle
C'est la vie, say the old folks, it goes to show you never can [C5] tell

INSTRUMENTAL: [over VERSE]
