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