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