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

And a lifetime of forgotten words… I never got to say

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

Say the word and I’ll be there for you… baby I will be your parachute
