[Intro]
Bb
 
[Verse 1]
Bb
As I got on a city bus and found a vacant seat
Bb
I thought I saw my future bride walking up the street
Bb
I shouted to the driver, "Hey conductor, you must slow down
Bb
I think I see her, please let me off this bus"
 
[Chorus]
Bb
Nadine, honey, is that you?
    Eb                     Bb
Oh, Nadine, honey, is that you?
           F
Seems like every time I see you
        Eb                        Bb
Darling you got something else to do
 
[Verse 2]
Bb
I saw her from the corner when she turned and doubled back
Bb
And started walkin' toward a coffee colored Cadillac
Bb
I was pushin' through the crowd tryin' to get to where she's at
Bb
I was campaign shouting like a southern diplomat
 
[Chorus]
Bb
Nadine, honey, is that you?
    Eb                       Bb
Oh, Nadine, honey, where are you?
           F
Seems like every time I catch up with you
Eb                     Bb
You're up to something new
 
[Verse 3]
Bb
Downtown searching for her looking all around
Bb
Saw her getting in a yellow cab heading up town
Bb
I caught a loaded taxi, paid up everybody's tab
Bb
With a twenty dollar bill told him, "Catch that yellow cab"
 
[Chorus]
Bb
Nadine, honey, is that you?
    Eb                     Bb
Oh, Nadine, honey, is that you?
           F
Seems like every time I catch up with you
F                      Bb
You're up to something new
 
[Verse 4]
Bb
She moves around like a wave of summer breeze
Bb
Go, driver, go, go, catch her for me please
Bb
Moving through the traffic like a mounted cavalier
Bb
Leaning out the taxi window trying to make her hear
 
[Chorus]
Bb
Nadine, honey, is that you?
    Eb                     Bb
Oh, Nadine, honey, is that you?
           F
Seems like every time I see you
        Eb                     Bb
Darling you're up to something new, Ohhh!
 
[Outro]
Bb  Eb  Bb  F  Eb  Bb
