Capo 2

          C           C/B        
Well he's eight years old with a

flour sack cape tied all around
     C
 his neck
     C        C/B   Am      Am/G
He's climbing up on top the

He got a runnin' start and bless 
    Am/G      F      G       C

'Cause he's one of those who knows 
his life

   F              C
Is just a leap of faith
       C           C/B      Am   
Gotta' spread your arms and hold 
     Am/G
your breath
    F      G          C
And always trust your cape


Well he's all grown up, he's got a 
flour sack cape, tied all around his
 dream
He's full of piss and vinegar, ah, 
he's bustin' at the seams
So licks his finger and checks the 
wind, it's gonna be do or die
He wasn't scared of nothin', boys, 
he was pretty sure he could fly

Chorus

Now he's old and grey with a flour 
sack cape, tied all around his head
And he's still jumpin' off the 
garage and will be til he's dead
All these years the people said the 
fool was actin' like a kid
And since he didn't know he couldn't
 fly, well of course he did

Chorus
