D Bm
Eight years old with a flower sack cape
G A D
Tied all around his neck
D Bm
He climbed up on the garage
G A
Figurin' what the heck
D Bm
He screwed his courage up so tight
G A D
The whole thing came unwound
Bm D
He got a runnin' start and bless his heart
G A D
He headed for the ground
Chorus
G
He's one of those who knows that life
Bm D
Is just a leap of faith
D Bm
Spread your arms and hold your breath
G A D
And always trust your cape
D Bm
All grown up with a flour sack cape
G A D
Tie all around his dreams
D Bm
He's full of piss and vinegar
G A
He's bustin at the seams
D Bm
He licked his finger and checked the wind
G A D
It's gonna be do or die
Bm D
He wasn't scared of nothin', Boys
G A D
He was pretty sure he could fly
Chorus
G
He's one of those who knows that life
Bm D
Is just a leap of faith
D Bm
Spread your arms and hold your breath
G A D
And always trust your cape
D Bm
Old and grey with a flour sack cape
G A D
Tied all around his head
D Bm
He's still jumpin' off the garage
G A
And will be 'till he's dead
D Bm
All these years the people said
G A D
He's actin like a kid
Bm D G
He did not know he could not fly
A D
So he did
Chorus
G
He's one of those who knows that life
Bm D
Is just a leap of faith
D Bm
Spread your arms and hold your breath
G A D
And always trust your cape
