NADINE          (by Chuck Berry)

A
I got on a city bus and found a vacant seat
Thought I saw my future bride walking up the street
I shouted to the driver, "hey conductor, you must
Slow down, I think I see her, please let me off this bus"

CHORUS:
A                                  D                   A               
Nadine, honey is that you?  Oh, Nadine. Honey, is that you?
           E7                             D                         A
Seems like every time I see you, darling, you got something else to do.

[Alternate verse: Seems like every time I catch you, darling, you're up to
something new]


I saw her on the corner when she turned and doubled back
Started walking towards her coffee colored cadillac
I's a-pushin' and a-shovin' tryin' to get to where she's at
I was campaign shoutin' like a southern diplomat

[repeat CHORUS]

Downtown searching for her, looking all around
Saw her getting in a yellow cab heading up town
I caught a loaded taxi, paid up everybody's tab
With a twenty dollar bill, told him "catch that yellow cab."

[repeat CHORUS]

She move around like a wayward summer breeze
Go, driver, go, go, catch her for me please
Moving thru the traffic like a mounted cavalier
Leaning out the taxi window trying to make her hear.

[repeat CHORUS]
