Now he's all grown up with a flour sack cape
Tied all around his dreams
And he's full of p**s and vinegar
And he's bustin at the seams
So se licked his finger and checked the wind
It's gonna be do or die
He wasn't scared of nothin', Boys
He was pretty sure he could fly
CHORUS
(Instrumental)
Now He's old and grey with a flour sack cape
Tied all around his head
He's still jumpin' off the garage
And will be 'till he's dead
All these years the people said
He's actin like a kid
He did not know he could not fly
So he did
CHORUS
Instrumental outro
Hope You like this. It's as close and simple as I can make it without getting too crazy.
Very easy to play.
