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