#VERSE--------------------------------------
|C C/B |Am Am/G
Eight years old with a flour sack cape
|F G7 |C
Tied all around his neck
|C C/B |Am Am/G
He climbed up on the garage
|F |G7
Figurin' what the heck
|C C/B |Am Am/G
He screwed his courage up so tight
|F G7 |C
The whole thing came unwound
|C C/B |Am Am/G
He got a runnin' start and bless his heart
|F G7 |C
He headed for the ground
#CHORUS-------------------------------------
|Am |Am/G
Well he's one of those who knows that life
|F |C
Is just a leap of faith
|C C/B |Am Am/G
Spread your arms and hold your breath
|F G7 |C
And always trust your cape
|C C/B |Am Am/G |F G7 |C
#VERSE---------------------------------------
|C C/B |Am Am/G
Now he's all grown up with a flour sack cape
|F G7 |C
Tied all around his dreams
|C C/B |Am Am/G
He's full of piss and vinegar
|F |G7
He's bustin at the seams
|C C/B |Am Am/G
He licked his finger and checked the wind
|F G7 |C
It's gonna be do or die
|C C/B |Am Am/G
He wasn't scared of nothin', Boys
|F G7 |C
He was pretty sure he could fly
#CHORUS------------------------------------
|Am |Am/G
Well he's one of those who knows that life
|F |C
Is just a leap of faith

Spread your arms and hold your breath
|F G7 |C
And always trust your cape
|C C/B |Am Am/G |F G7 |C
#VERSE-------------------------------------
|C C/B |Am Am/G
Now he's old and grey with a flour sack cape
|F G7 |C
Tied all around his head
|C C/B |Am Am/G
He's still jumpin' off the garage
|F |G7
And will be 'till he's dead
|C C/B |Am Am/G
All these years the people said
|F G7 |C
He's actin like a kid
|C C/B |Am Am/G
He did not know he could not fly
|F G7 |C
So he did
#CHORUS------------------------------------
