On CHESS Records in 1956.
 
 
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.
 
 
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.
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.
 
 
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.
 
 
#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, altitude dropped to 505
Gm
Fuel consumption way too fast
 
Let's get on home before we run out of gas.
 
 
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.

Chuck Berry uses a lot of 6th chords in this song. This tab misses that.
