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