[Intro 1]
[Em][D][C][G][C][G]

[Verse 1]
Kooper I was [Em]sixteen
years of age when
[A]I fled my family's [Am]house
And I [C]hitchhiked down [Bm]the highway
Try[B]in' to make my way down [Em]South
It was [C]in the dead [Am]of winter
and it [G]chilled me to the bone
But I was [Am]sixteen years of age
Just try[C]in to get a message [G]home
[Am][G]

[Verse 2]
[Em]It was cold & It was windy & I
was [A]two days in my [Am]flight
And my shoes were [C]al [Am]most [Bm]wore through
And [B]the day was almost [Em]night
When the [C]only car I [Am]saw that
day came [G]rollin into view
I just [Am]ran onto the highway for [C]to see
what I could [G]do
[C][G]

[Verse 3]
[Em]I waved my arms & hollered and
the [A]car it did slow [Am]down
And I [C]asked the man inside [Bm]to help me
For to [B]get to the very next [Em]town
He [C]nodded yes & I [Am]jumped inside
I was [G]thankful, safe & warm
But [Am]the stranger kept his eyes ahead
And drove [C]straight into
[Em]the storm

[Interlude 1]
[D][C][G][C][G]

[Verse 4]
[Em]I guess I musta fell asleep but I
[A]couldn't tell how [Am]long
When I woke [C]up in [Am]a hurry [Bm]with
the feel [B]of something [Em]wrong
[C]The stranger was still dri[Am]ving
and he [G]did not say a word
And I [Am]asked him many questions
But [C]he seemed not to have [Em]heard
[C][G]

[Verse 5]
Then [Em]fear began to grab me & I
[A]reached out for [Am]the door
When I [C]almost had it [Bm]open
Well, the [B]car began [Em]to soar
As it [C]angled towards [Am]the heavens
I just [G]tried to catch my breath
For it [Am]was then I knew what time it was
And the [C]stranger's name was Death
[Em]
