  C           Em         A          G

  Eight years old with a flour sack cape

       F    G         C

  Tied all around his neck

  C          Em    A     G

  He climbed up on the garage

  F                 G

  Figurin' what the heck

  C              Em      A     G

  He screwed his courage up so tight

      F           G    C

  The whole thing came unwound

           C       Em        A         G

  He got a runnin' start and bless his heart

     F      G       C

  He headed for the ground

  

  CHORUS:

            A                G

  Well he's one of those who knows that life

     F              C

  Is just a leap of faith

  C           Em       A         G

  Spread your arms and hold your breath

      F      G          C

  And always trust your cape

  

  C  Em  A  G  F  G  C

  C  Em  A  G  F  G  C

  

  

  

  All grown up with a flour sack cape

  Tie all around his dreams

  He's full of piss and vinegar

  He's bustin at the seams

  He licked his finger and checked the wind

  It's gonna be do or die

  He wasn't scared of nothin', Boys

  He was pretty sure he could fly

  

  CHORUS

  

  Old and grey with a flour sack cape

  Tied all around his head

  He's still jumpin' off the garage

  And will be 'till he's dead

  All these years the people said

  He's actin like a kid

  He did not know he could not fly

  So he did

  

  CHORUS
