Todd Snider - D.b. Cooper guitar chord

D.B. Cooper by Todd Snider

G D C G

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

G D C D

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

C D G C

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

G C D G

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

G D C G

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

G D C D

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

C D G C

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

G C D G

But later that night they were shining a light down on the mountain again.

(chorus)

C G C G C Amin D

Not far away, from the city of roses, they all watched those lights up through the rain.

C G C G C

For D.B. Cooper.

G D C G

Well, the cops blocked off all the exit roads and turned out all of the hounds.

G D C D

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

C D G C

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

G C D G

But a parachute and a few hundred dollars is all that they've ever found.

(chorus)

C G C G C Amin D D

Not far away, from the city of roses, they all watched those lights up through the rain.

G D C G

Now some people say that he died up there, somewhere in the rain and the wind.

G D C D

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

C D G C

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

G C D G

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

(chorus)

C G C G C Amin D

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

C G C G C

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