Verse 1
(G major) Well, me and Oliver and Virgil's
in the feed (C major) store
Killing time when (D major) my eyes
fell upon this magazine (G major)
(D major) I got to reading (G major) this here article
About sky (C major) diving and parachutes
And (D major) said jumping out of airplanes
wasn't a thing (G major)
Being raised out on the ranch
And always (C major) ready for a little adventure
(D major) I knew that I could figure out a way (G major)
(D major) Dale Mc (G major) Gill's got a parachute
and (C major) Uncle Harvey's got an airplane
I (D major) said, call the boys together,
today's the day (G major)
(D major) I found out too late
what Uncle Harvey (G major) called an airplane
Wasn't nothin' (A major) but an engine and a wing
(D major) And I could feel (G major) my fear risin'
as Delbert packed (C major) up that old parachute
Cause he (D major) kept tellin' me
I was doin' the right thing (G major)
John McLaughlin shook my hand
as J .D. strapped (C major) me in the harness
(D major) Tilled and brought a jug
and he passed it around (G major)
(D major) I took one (G major) look at that airplane,
at that parachute,
(C major) at that whiskey
And (D major) I tipped that bottle up
and drank her down (G major)
I was drunk as Cooter Jones
when they poured (C major) me in the airplane
An (D major) d the engine coughed
and headed for the clouds
(G major) (D major) But I was (G major) sober as a judge
by the time they opened (C major) up that door
I (D major) never knew my heart could beat so loud (G major)
(D major) I said, "'Til then I
can't do it,"
as he kicked (G major) me out the door
And I wrapped (A major) my hands
around the landing gear (D major)
And I was holdin' (G major) on real good
till that sucker stepped (C major) down on my fingers
E (D major) .J. said he heard me yell
from way down there (G major) (E major) (A major)
I thank God and Dale McGill
when that (D major) parachute finally opened and I said well
(E major) heck there ain't no use in being afraid (A major)
I went crashing through the
hen house
scattering (D major) chickens and breaking eggs
and I (E major) kissed the ground and
fainted (A major) dead awake
My friends I've done some fighting
and I've been (D major) shot at once or twice
and I (E major) dang near got run over by a (A major) train
But (E major) I don't (A major) ever once remember
being (D major) any more afraid
Than the (E major) day I jumped on
the Harvest (A major) Plain (D major) (A major)
