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