Intro: G 

verse 1 
G                        Em 
Eight years old with a floursack cape 
     C     D          G 
Tied all around his neck 
G          G/F#        Em 
He climbed up on the garage 
     C                  D 
He's figurin' what the heck 
         G                      Em 
Well, he screwed up his courage up so tight 
          C           D       G 
That the whole thing come unwound 
  G              G/F#       Em 
He got a runnin' start and bless his heart 
      C      D          G 
He's headed for the ground 


           Em                D 
Well he's one of those who knows that life 
     C             G 
Is just a leap of faith 
G           G/F#      Em 
Spread your arms and hold your breath 
     C      D          G 
And always trust your cape

verse 2 
         G                    Em 
Now he's all grown up with a floursack cape 
      C     D         G 
Tied all around his dreams 
     G                   Em 
And he's full of spit and vinegar 
          C              D 
And he's bustin' at the seams 
         G                         Em 
Well, he licked his finger and he checked the wind 
      C       D      G 
It's gonna be do or die 
G         G/F#       Em 
He wasn't scared of nothin' boys 
        C          D         G 
He was pretty sure he could fly 

           Em                D 
Well he's one of those who knows that life 
     C             G 
Is just a leap of faith 
G           G/F#      Em 
Spread your arms and hold your breath 
     C      D          G 
And always trust your cape

verse 3 
         G                   Em 
Now he's old and gray with a floursack cape 
     C       D       G 
Tied all around his head 
G          G/F#      Em 
He's still jumpin' off the garage 
     C                 D 
And will be till he's dead 
G                  Em 
All these years the people said 
        C       D     G 
He was actin' like a kid 
     G      G/F#     Em 
He did not know he could not fly 
C   D   G 
So he did 

           Em                D 
Well he's one of those who knows that life 
     C             G 
Is just a leap of faith 
G           G/F#      Em 
Spread your arms and hold your breath 
     C      D          G 
And always trust your cape 

           Em                D 
Yes he's one of those who knows that life 
     C             G 
Is just a leap of faith 
G           G/F#      Em 
Spread your arms and hold your breath 
     C      D          G 
And always trust your cape
