Verse 1 
 
Em                               C 
Two black Cadillacs driving in a slow parade 
Em                                     C 
Headlights shining bright in the middle of the day 
G               D 
One is for his wife 
     Em                      C 
The other for the woman who loved him at night 
G            D                       Em          C 
Two black Cadillacs meeting for the first time 
 
 
 
           Em 
And the preacher said he was a good man 
          C 
And his brother said he was a good friend 
         D                                            A 
But the women in the two black veils didn't bother to cry 
 
Bye, Bye 
      Em 
Yeah they took turns and put a rose down 
           C 
Threw a handful of dirt into the deep ground 
D                                         A 
He's not the only one who had a secret to hide 
                Em 
Bye bye, bye bye 
                     C 
Two black Cadillacs, two black Cadillacs 
 
 
Verse 2
 
Em                                       C 
Two months ago his wife called the number on his phone 
Em                                          C 
Turns out he been lying to both of them for oh so long 
G             D   Em                        C 
They decided then he'd never get away for doing this to them 
G           D                        Em         C 
Two black Cadillacs waiting for the ride down ride down 
 
 
 
           Em 
And the preacher said he was a good man 
          C 
And his brother said he was a good friend 
         D                                            A 
But the women in the two black veils didn't bother to cry 
 
Bye bye, Bye bye 
      Em 
Yeah they took turns and put a rose down 
           C 
Threw a handful of dirt into the deep ground 
D                                         A 
He's not the only one who had a secret to hide 
                      Em 
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye 
      C 
Yeah yeah 
 
 
Bridge
 
A                                                        G   D   C 
It was the first time and last time they saw each other face to face 
A                                    G      D   C 
They shared a crimson smile and just walked away 
 
And left the secret at the grave 
 
 
 
           Em 
And the preacher said he was a good man 
          C 
And his brother said he was a good friend 
          D                                            A 
But the women in the two black veils didn't bother to cry 
 
Bye bye, Bye bye 
      Em 
Yeah they took turns and put a rose down 
           C 
Threw a handful of dirt into the deep ground 
D                                         A 
He's not the only one who had a secret to hide 
                       Em        C 
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye 
                   Em 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
