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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

F       F     F                F      F                      Dmin                  G     G

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

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

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

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

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

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