D.B. Cooper by Todd Snider


G+G        D MajorD    C majorC          G+G
D.B. Cooper was 43 when we first heard his name.

G+G    D MajorD         C majorC        D MajorD
47 miles away from where he fell down to his fame.

  C majorC          D MajorD          G+G             C majorC
But he told me that the hardest part wasn't really jumping out of the plane.

    G+G          C majorC          D MajorD             G+G
It was spending the night, watching them lights shine through the pouring rain.

G+G         D MajorD           C majorC         G+G  ss
They had a manhunt that next morning like nothing I had ever seen.||

G+G         D MajorD        C majorC         D MajorD
I was only 8 years old at the time, watching on the tv screen.

     C majorC             D MajorD           G+G        C majorC
They were saying he was never gonna make it now, now that daylight had set in.

  G+G             C majorC        D MajorD          G+G
But later that night they were shining a light down on the mountain again.

(chorus)

C majorC    G+G   C majorC        G+G   C majorC           Amin         D MajorD
Not far away, from the city of roses, they all watched those lights up through the rain.

     C majorC    G+G C majorC G+G C majorC
For D.B. Cooper.

     G+G            D MajorD       C majorC           G+G
Well, the cops blocked off all the exit roads and turned out all of the hounds.

   G+G              D MajorD         C majorC       D MajorD
They even dragged the river up a couple of times to see if he hit ground.

   C majorC            D MajorD         G+G             C majorC
With all of those men working overtime well they swore they would bring him down.

   G+G        C majorC           D MajorD           G+G
But a parachute and a few hundred dollars is all that they've ever found.

(chorus)

C majorC    G+G   C majorC        G+G   C majorC           Amin         D MajorD   D MajorD
Not far away, from the city of roses, they all watched those lights up through the rain.


  G+G            D MajorD         C majorC             G+G
Now some people say that he died up there, somewhere in the rain and the wind.

G+G            D MajorD           C majorC         D MajorD
Other people say that he got away, but then his girlfriend did him in.

  C majorC        D MajorD         G+G             C majorC
The lawmen say if he is out there, someday they're gonna drag him in.

G+G           C majorC     D MajorD      G+G
As for me, I hope they never see, D.B. Cooper again.


(chorus)

C majorC    G+G   C majorC        G+G    C majorC          Amin       D MajorD
Not far away, from the city of roses, a light shines from a house out in the rain.

      C majorC          G+G   C majorC       G+G   C majorC
