Me n' Oliver n' Virgil was at the drugstore killin' time,
G+G                C majorC
when my eyes fell on this magazine.
C majorC                          FF
and I got To reading this article 'bout sky-divin' and parachutin',
G+G                    C majorC
said jumpin outta air-planes was a thing.

C majorC                       FF
Now being raised down on the farm and always ready for adventure,

Well I found out too late, what Uncle Harvey called an air-plane
G+G                  C majorC
wuttin' nothin but an engine and a wing.
C majorC                  FF
and I felt my fear begin to rise as delmer packed the parachute,
G+G                C majorC
'cuz he tol' me I's doing the right thing,

Ron Mcloughlin shook my hand and Jd strapped me in the harness

so Tildon brought a jug n' they passed it 'round.

So I took one look at that parachute and that whisky and that airplane
G+G                     C majorC

but I's sober as a judge when Harvey opened up the door
G+G                     C majorC
and I've never known my heart to beat so loud.

       C majorC
I screamed, :Harvey! I Can't Do this! You and I've known each other a very long time,
you been my uncle all my life, to ask another human being to jump out of an airplane at
this altitude and at this velocity is simply ridiculous man."

at which point, he kicked me out the door
G+G                      C majorC
and I wrapped my hands around the landing gear.
C majorC                  FF
and I was holdin' on real good 'til Harvey stepped upon my fingers
G+G                      C majorC
and Virgil heard me scream from way down there.

I came crashing through that hen house, I scattered chickens, I broke eggs
G+G                         C majorC
and then I kissed that ground, I fainted dead away.

C majorC                    FF

C majorC            FF
but I never do remember ever being so afraid.
G+G                     C majorC
as the day I jumped from Uncle Harvey's plane
