D.B. Cooper

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

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

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

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

G                  D             
They had a manhunt that next 
         C                  G
morning like nothing I had ever 
seen.

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

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

    G                         
But later that night they were 
 C               D                
shining a light down on the 
    G
mountain again.
C       G     C                
Not far away, from the city of 
G      C                      Am
roses, they all watched those 
                  D
lights up through the rain.

For D.B. Cooper.
          G                        
Well, the cops blocked off all the 
D              C                 
exit roads and turned out all of 
    G
the hounds.

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

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

      G               C           
But a parachute and a few hundred 
           D                    
dollars is all that they've ever 
 G
found.
C       G     C                
Not far away, from the city of 
G      C                      Am
roses, they all watched those 
                  D     D
lights up through the rain.
    G                       D     
Now some people say that he died 
             C                     
up there, somewhere in the rain and
    G
 the wind.

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

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

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

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

            C               
It was D.B. Cooper, drinking 
     G     C              G     C
champagne.  Drinking Champagne.
