You Never Can Tell 
Chuck Berry
 
based on Emmylou Harris' recording in Bb. 
158 bpm   4/4
 
 
          Bb
 It was a teenage wedding and the old folks wished them well
                                                      F
 You could see that Pierre did truly love the mademoi-selle
 
 And now the young monsieur and Madame have rung the chapel bell
                                                                  Bb 
 "Cest la vie!" say the old folks, "It goes to show you never can tell!"
 
 

                Bb
 They furnished off an apartment with a two room Roebuck sale
                                                       F
 The coolerator was crammed with TV dinners and ginger-ale
 
 But when Pierre found work, the little money coming worked out well
                                                                  Bb 
 "Cest la vie!" say the old folks, "It goes to show you never can tell!"
 
 
            Bb
 They had a hi-fi phono; boy did they let it blast!
                                                    F
 Seven hundred little records, all rock, rhythm and jazz
 
 But when the sun went down, the rapid tempo of the music fell
                                                                  Bb 
 "Cest la vie!" say the old folks, "It goes to show you never can tell!"


               Bb 
 They bought a souped up jitney, t'was a cherry red fifty-three
                                                                F
 They drove it down to New Orleans to celebrate their anniversa-ry
 
 It was there that Pierre was wedded to the lovely mademoiselle
                                                                  Bb 
 "Cest la vie!" say the old folks, "It goes to show you never can tell!"


Repeat #1
