D.B. Cooper by Todd Snider

^GD.B. Cooper was ^D43 when ^Cwe first heard his n^Game. ^G47 miles ^Daway from where he ^Cfell down to his ^Dfame.

But ^Che told me that the ^Dhardest part wasn't ^Greally jumping out of the ^Cplane. It was ^Gspending the night, ^Cwatching them lights ^Dshine through the pouring ^Grain.

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

^GI was only 8 years ^Dold at the time, ^Cwatching on the tv ^Dscreen. They were ^Csaying he was never gonna ^Dmake it now, now that ^Gdaylight had set ^Cin.

But ^Glater that night they were ^Cshining a light ^Ddown on the mountain ^Gagain.

(chorus)

^CNot far ^Gaway, ^Cfrom the city of ^Groses, ^Cthey all watched those ^Aminlights up through the ^Drain. C G C G C For D.B. Cooper.

Well, the ^Gcops blocked off all the ^Dexit roads and ^Cturned out all of the ^Ghounds. They ^Geven dragged the river up a ^Dcouple of times to ^Csee if he hit ^Dground.

With ^Call of those men working ^Dovertime well they ^Gswore they would bring him ^Cdown. But a ^Gparachute and a ^Cfew hundred dollars is ^Dall that they've ever ^Gfound.

(chorus)

^CNot far ^Gaway, ^Cfrom the city of ^Groses, ^Cthey all watched those ^Aminlights up through the ^Drain. ^D

Now ^Gsome people say that he ^Ddied up there, some^Cwhere in the rain and the ^Gwind. ^GOther people say that he ^Dgot away, but then his ^Cgirlfriend did him ^Din.

The ^Clawmen say if he ^Dis out there, some^Gday they're gonna drag him ^Cin. ^GAs for me, I hope they ^Cnever see, ^DD.B. Cooper ^Gagain.

(chorus)

^CNot far ^Gaway, ^Cfrom the city of ^Groses, a ^Clight shines from a ^Aminhouse out in the ^Drain. It was D.B. ^CCooper, drinking cham^Gpagne.^C Drinking Cham^Gpagne.^C
