D.B. Cooper by Todd Snider
[G]D.B. Cooper was [D]43 when [C]we first heard his n[G]ame.
[G]47 miles [D]away from where he [C]fell down to his [D]fame.
But [C]he told me that the [D]hardest part wasn't [G]really jumping out of the [C]plane.
It was [G]spending the night, [C]watching them lights [D]shine through the pouring [G]rain.
[G]They had a manhunt [D]that next morning like [C]nothing I had ever [G]seen.
[G]I was only 8 years [D]old at the time, [C]watching on the tv [D]screen.
They were [C]saying he was never gonna [D]make it now, now that [G]daylight had set [C]in.
But [G]later that night they were [C]shining a light [D]down on the mountain [G]again.
(chorus)
[C]Not far [G]away, [C]from the city of [G]roses, [C]they all watched those [Amin]lights up through the [D]rain.
For D.B. [C]Cooper.[G][C][G][C]
Well, the [G]cops blocked off all the [D]exit roads and [C]turned out all of the [G]hounds.
They [G]even dragged the river up a [D]couple of times to [C]see if he hit [D]ground.
With [C]all of those men working [D]overtime well they [G]swore they would bring him [C]down.
But a [G]parachute and a [C]few hundred dollars is [D]all that they've ever [G]found.
(chorus)
[C]Not far [G]away, [C]from the city of [G]roses, [C]they all watched those [Amin]lights up through the [D]rain.[D]
Now [G]some people say that he [D]died up there, some[C]where in the rain and the [G]wind.
[G]Other people say that he [D]got away, but then his [C]girlfriend did him [D]in.
The [C]lawmen say if he [D]is out there, some[G]day they're gonna drag him [C]in.
[G]As for me, I hope they [C]never see, [D]D.B. Cooper [G]again.
(chorus)
[C]Not far [G]away, [C]from the city of [G]roses, a [C]light shines from a [Amin]house out in the [D]rain.
