On CHESS Records in 1956.

INTRO:

#1.

I bought a brand-new air-mobile, it's custom-made,

Eb G

'twas a Flight De Ville.

With a powerful motor and some hideaway wings.

Push in on the button and you can hear her sing.

CHORUS:

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.

New Jersey Turnpike in the wee, wee hours, I was

Rollin' slowly cause of drizzlin' showers.

Here come a flat-top, he was movin' up with me.

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.

Flyin' with my baby last Saturday night,

Wasn't a gray cloud floatin' in sight.

Big full moon shinin' up above

Cuddle up, honey, be my love.

Sweetest little thing I've ever seen, I'm gonna name

you Maybellene.

#5.

Flyin' on the beam, set on flight control, radio tuned to rock 'n' roll.

Gm G Gm G

Two, three hours passed us by, altitude dropped to 505

D G

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