N.C.
I bought a brand new airmobile
N.C.
'Twas a custom made, 'twas a flightning deal
N.C.
With a powerful motor and a hide away wing
N.C.
Pushin’ on the button, you will hear her sing
[Chorus]

Now you can't catch me

Baby, you can't catch me

New Jersey turnpike in the wee wee hours
E
I was rolling slowly cause of drizzling showers
E
Here come a flat-top, he was moving up with me
E
Then come waving goodbye in a little old souped up jitney
E
I put my foot in the tank, I began to roll
E
Moaning siren, 'twas the state patrol
E
I let out my wings, then I blew my horn
E
Bye-bye, New Jersey, I become airborne
[Chorus]
A
You can't catch me

Baby, you can't catch me

Cause if you get too close

Flying with my baby last Saturday night

Wasn't a gray cloud floating in sight
E
Big, full moon, shining up above
E
Cuddle up, honey, be my love
E
Sweetest little thing that I ever seen
E
I'm going to name you Maybellene
E
Flying on the beam, set on flight control
E
Radio tuned to rock and roll
E
Two, three hours passed us by,
E
Altitude dropped into five-o-five
E
Fuel consumption, way too fast
E
Let's get on home before we run out of gas
[Chorus]

[Intro]
| E | F#m B |
Ah, remember this?
| B | E |
Why, I must have been ... thirteen when this came out
| E |
Or was it fourteen? Or was it twenty-two?
| F#m B | B | E |
I could have been twelve actually
[Verse 1]
E | F#m B |
Just because you left and said goodbye
B E
Do you think that I will sit and cry?
E | F#m B |
Even if my heart should tell me so
B E
Darling, I would rather let you go
[Verse 2]
E | F#m B |
Just because I want someone who's kind
B E
With a heart as good and pure as mine
E | F#m B |
But maybe I am asking far too much
B E
Darling, please don't ever break my heart
[Middle 8]
A
I know you think you're smart
F#
Just running around and breaking

There’s two basses in this, and I hope you appreciate it.

(fade out over last lines)
The "Reprise" version on the 2010 remaster has more of the spoken word part
and ad-libbed vocals from after fade:
All right!
It’s all down to ‘Goodnight Vienna’.
I’d like to say hi to Ringo, Paul and George. How are you?
Everybody back home, in England, what’s cooking?
Darlin’, I would beg on my bended knees.
Baby, you’re so smart, I want permission please.
All the mothers don’t know what they’re doing.
Little by little by little by little,
I need your love so bad it hurts me.
