You Never Can Tell
(Chuck Berry)
John Prine

Intro:
[B]
[F#]
[B]

[B]It was a teenage wedding
And the old folks wished 'em well
You could see that Pierre
Did truly love the Mademois[F#]elle.
And the young Monsieur and Madame
Have rung the chapel bell,
"C'est la vie,"
-Say the old folks
It goes to show that you never can t[B]ell

[B]They furnished off an apartment With a two room Roebuck sale
The coolerator was filled
With T.V. Dinners and ginger a[F#]le
But when Pierre found work,
The little money comin' worked out well
"C'est la vie,"
-Say the old folks
It goes to show that you never can t[B]ell

[B]They had a Hi-Fi phone
Boy, did they let it blast
Seven hundred little records
All rock, rhythm and j[F#]azz
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 that you never can t[B]ell

[B]They bought a souped up jitney
'Twas a cherry and Fifty-three
They drove it down to New Orleans
To celebrate their anniver[F#]sary.
It was there where Pierre was wedded
To the lovely Mademoiselle,
"C'est la vie,"
-Say the old folks
It goes to show that you never can t[B]ell
