YOU NEVER CAN TELL

Chuck Berry

guitar intro

	C
	It was a teenage wedding, and the old folks wished them well

	G
You could see that Pierre did truly love the madamois	elle

And now the young monsieur and madame have rung the chapel bell,

	C
"C'est la vie", say the old folks, it goes to show you never can	tell

	C
	They furnished off an apartment with a two room Roebuck sale

	G
The coolerator was crammed with TV dinners and ginger	ale,

But when Pierre found work, the little money comin' worked out well

	C
"C'est la vie", say the old folks, it goes to show you never can	tell

	C
	They had a hi-fi phono, boy, did they let it blast

	G
Seven hundred little records, all rock, rhythm and	jazz

But when the sun went down, the rapid tempo of the music fell

	C
"C'est la vie", say the old folks, it goes to show you never can	tell

	C
	They bought a souped-up jitney, 'twas a cherry red '53,

	G
They drove it down to Orleans to celebrate the anniversar	y

It was there that Pierre was married to the lovely madamoiselle

	G
"C'est la vie", say the old folks, it goes to show you never can	tell
