[Verse 1]
C                               Am
She was born in a land of snow, gypsy heart, just born to roam

G7                             C                     G
Took one look at an aeroplane, that's when I lost my love

C                                      Am
Tonight's she's servin' someone tea, behind a cloud where I can't see

  G                                                 C
A hostess on a big main line, that goes from sea to sea!
[Chorus]

(There goes that - mainliner) A hawk with silver wings!

  C
I can't compete  with an open sky

Goodnight my love, good luck, goodbye! (Mainliner)
[Break] | C | F | C | G C | [Verse 2]
C                               Am
Hot rod cars are just too tame, my girlfriend likes bigger game

G                           C               G7
Motors roar in an open sky, New York on the beam

C                             Am
Down by the runway all alone, seems that gal is never home

     G7                                            C
When I can't hold her in my arms, I hold her in my dreams
[Chorus]
C                  F            C
(There goes that - mainliner) A hawk with silver wings!

Goodnight my love, good luck, goodbye! (Mainliner)
[Verse 3]
C                              Am
She has starlight in her eyes, caught it from the midnight skies

G7                            C                  G
Moonbeams in her golden hair, that's my restless love

C                          Am
Always cravin' lands afar, guided by an evening star

     G7                                              C
Like an eagle on its lonely flight, that circles up above
[Chorus]
C                  F            C
(There goes that - mainliner) A hawk with silver wings!

                   F          C                  G7
(There goes that - mainliner) Stole my love from  me

  C
I can't compete  with an open sky

    F                        F#dim     G          C
Goodnight my love, good luck, goodbye! (Mai-ai-ain-liner...)
