Intro:  Gm  

#1. 
Gm 
I bought a brand-new air-mobile, it's custom-made,  
 Eb            G 
'twas a Flight De Ville. 
       Gm 
With a powerful motor and some hideaway wings. 
Gm 
Push in on the button and you can hear her sing. 

         C                         G 
Now, you can't catch me, baby, you can't catch me. 
             D                           G 
Cause if you get too close, you know I'm gone  
Dm     Gm   G 
like a cool breeze. 


#2. 
Gm 
New Jersey Turnpike in the wee, wee hours, I was  

rollin' slowly cause of drizzlin' showers. 
Eb 
Here come a flat-top, he was movin' up with me. 
     Gm 
Then come wavin' goodbye in a little' old souped-up  

jitney. 


#3. 
      Ab Gm 
I put my foot in my tank and I began to roll.. 

moanin' siren, 'twas the state patrol. 
Gm 
So, I let out my wings and then I blew my horn. 
                            Bb      Gm 
Bye, bye New Jersey, I've become airborne. 

         C                         G 
Now, you can't catch me, baby, you can't catch me.

Cause if you get too close, you know I'm gone  
Dm     Gm   G 
like a cool breeze. 

#4. 
Gm 
Flyin' with my baby last Saturday night, wasn't a gray  

cloud floatin' in sight. 
Gm 
Big full moon shinin' up above, cuddle up, honey, be  

my love. 
Gm 
Sweetest little thing I've ever seen, I'm gonna name  

you Maybellene. 

#5. 
Gm 
Flyin' on the beam, set on flight control, radio tuned  

to rock 'n' roll. 
Gm                             G       Gm            G 
Two, three hours passed us by, how did 2 two drop to 5:05? 
Gm 
Fuel consumption way too fast, let's get on home before  

we run out of gas. 

         C                         G 
Now, you can't catch me, baby, you can't catch me.

Cause if you get too close, you know I'm gone

like a cool breeze.
