Verse 1
D
Me and Oliver and Virgil was down
G
at the drugstore killing time
A
D
when my eye fell upon this magazine.
And I got to reading this article
G
about skydiving and parachutes
A
and I said, jumping out of an airplane,
D
that's a thing.
Now being raised out on a farm
G
and always ready for adventure,
A
I knew that I could figure out a way.
D
Well, but Delmar Gill's
got a parachute,
G
Uncle Harvey's got a plane,
A
so I said, Call the boys together,
D
today's the day.
A
Now I found out too late
D
that what Uncle Harvey
called an airplane
E
wasn't really nothing
A
but an engine and a wing.
D
And I could feel my fear rising
G
as Delmar packed up my parachute,
A
but he kept on telling me,
D
Oh, you're doing the right thing.
Ron McLaughlin shook my hand
G
and he strapped me in the harness,
A
and Tilden brought a jug
D
to pass around.
Well, I took one look at that parachute
G
and the whiskey and that airplane,
A
and I turned that bottle up
D
and drank it down.
Oh, I was drunker than Cooter Jones
G
when they boarded me in the plane,
Am
and that old engine coughed
A
D
and we headed for the clouds.
Boy, I was sober as a judge
G
when Harvey opened up that door,
A
and I ain't never heard my
D
heart beat quite so loud.
A
I said, Harvey, I can't do it,
D
but he kicked me out the door,
Em
but I wrapped my hand
E
Em
A
s around the landing gear.
D
And I was holding on pretty good,
G
and Harvey stomped on my fingers,
A
and Virgil said he heard me scream
D
from way down there
B
E
I thanked God and Delmar Gill
A
when that parachute finally opened
B
And I said, well, hell,
there ain't no use to be afraid
E
Then I went crashing through
the hen house
A
Scattering chickens and breaking eggs
B
And I kissed the ground and
E
fainted dead away
Now friends, I fought some battles
A
I've been shot at once or twice
B
E
and I damn near got run over by a train.
But in my whole -born put -togethers,
A
I ain't never been as scared
B
as the day I jumped from
Uncle Harvey's plane.
