V 1. DB cooper was 43 when we first heard his name. 47 miles away from where he fell
G D G D C
down to his fame. He told me that the hardest part wasn’t really jumpin out of that plane,
G C G
it was spending the night, watching those lights, shine down through the pouring rain.
G D C G
V 2. They had a man hunt that next morning like nothing I had ever seen. I was only 8
D C G D
years old at the time, watchin on the tv screen. They were saying he was never gonna
G D C G C
make it now, now that daylight had set in. But later that night they were shining those
G
lights, down on the mountain again.

Chorus: Not far away, from the city of roses, they all watched those lights up through the
D
rain, for DB cooper.

V 3. So the cops blocked off all the exit roads, and turned lose all of their hounds. Even
D C G
dragged the river up a couple of times, to see if he had drowned. With all of those men
D G D C G C
working over time they swore they would bring him in. But a pair of shoes, and a few
G
100 dollars, was all that they ever found.
Chorus:

V 4. Some people say that he died up there, up there in the rain and the wind. Other
D C G
people say that he got away, but his girlfriend did him in. The lawmen say if he’s out
D G D C G C
there, someday they’re gonna drag him in. But as for me, I hope they never see, old DB
G
Cooper again.
Chorus:
