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