Parachute by Chris Stapleton
Transcribed by DWdrummer67
This is great tune tune that transcribed prior to the release of Chris's album. It's in a different
key than Chris uses on the album, which is why it sounds different. I actually like it better, but
if you don't... please look elsewhere for the album version. I hope that you enjoy this, but please
don't give it a low star rating just because it's not in the key that's on the album.
BTW... the final G, D and Em notes in the song are notes, not chords.
Tuning: Standard
[Intro]
Em G D E7 Cadd9
[Verse]
Em G D Cadd9
Street lights along the highway, throwin’ shadows through the dark
Em G D Cadd9
And the memories keep on turnin’, to the rhythm of a broken heart
[Chorus]
Em G D Cadd9
You only need a roof when it’s raining… you only need a fire when it’s cold
Em G D Cadd9
You only need a drink when the whiskey… is the only thing that you have left to hold
Em G D Cadd9
Sun comes up and goes back down… the fallin’ feels like flyin’ ‘till you hit the ground
Em G D Em G D Cadd9
Say the word and I’ll be there for you… baby I will be your parachute
Em G D Cadd9
Parachute
[Verse]
Em G D Cadd9
There’s a song that I remember… that I never learned to play
Em G D Cadd9
And a lifetime of forgotten words… I never got to say
[Chorus]
Em G D Cadd9
You only need a roof when it’s raining… you only need a fire when it’s cold
Em G D Cadd9
You only need a drink when the whiskey… is the only thing that you have left to hold
Em G D Cadd9
Sun comes up and goes back down… the fallin’ feels like flyin’ ‘till you hit the ground
Em G D Em G D
Say the word and I’ll be there for you… baby I will be your parachute
Em G D

[Chorus]

You only need a drink when the whiskey… is the only thing that you have left to hold

Sun comes up and goes back down… the fallin’ feels like flyin’ ‘till you hit the ground
