[Verse 1]
Eight years old with [Em]a
flour sack cape
Tied [C]all around [D]his [G]neck
He climbed up on [Em]the garage
He's [C]figurin' what the heck
[D]Well, he scr[G]ewed
up his courage up [Em]so tight
That the [C]whole thing [D]come unwound
[G]He got a runnin' start and ble[Em]ss his heart
[C]He's headed for[D] the[G] ground
Well (yes) he's [Em]one
of those [D]who knows that life
Is [C]just a leap [G]of faith
Spread [D]your arms and [Em]hold your breath
[D]And[C] always tru[D]st you[G]r cape
Now he's all grown up
[Em]with a flour sack cape
Tied [C]all around [D]his dreams
[G]And he's full of spit and vinegar
[Em]And he's busti[C]n' at the seams
[D]Well, he [G]licked his finger and
he [Em]checked the wind
It's [C]gonna be [D]do [G]or die
He wasn't scared of [Em]nothin' boys
He was [C]pretty sure [D]he could fly

[Verse 2]
[G]Well (yes) he's one[Em]
of those who [D]knows that life
Is [C]just a leap [G]of faith
Spread your [D]arms and [Em]hold your breath
[C]And always tru[D]st you[G]r cape[Em][C][D]

[D][G]
Now [D]he's [Em]old a[D]nd[C][D][G]
gray with a [Em]flour sack cape
Tied [C]all [D]around [G]his head
He's still jumpin' off [Em]the garage
And [C]will be till he's [D]dead
[G]All these years [Em]the people said
He was [C]actin' [D]like [G]a kid
He did not know [Em]he could not [C]fly
[D]So he [G]did
Well (yes) he's [Em]one
of those who [D]knows that life
Is [C]just a leap [G]of faith
Spread [D]your arms and [Em]hold your breath
[C]And always tru[D]st you[G]r cape
Well (yes) he's [Em]one
of those [D]who knows that life
Is [C]just a leap [G]of faith
Spread [D]your arms and [Em]hold your breath
And [C]always [D]trust [G]your cape
