the cape Guy Clark
Intro - C - Am - F - G - C - C - Em - Am - G - F - G - C
[C] [Am] [F] [C]Eight years old with a flour sack cape tied all around his neck
[C] [Em] [Am] [F] [G]He climbed up on the garage, he was figuring, "What the heck"
[C] [Am] [F] [C]He screwed his courage up so tight, that the whole thing come unwound.
[C] [Em] [Am] [F] [G] [C]He got a running start and bless his heart, he headed for the ground.
[C] [F] Well, he's one of those who knows that life is just a leap of faith,
[C] [Em] [Am] [F] [G] [C] Spread your arms and hold your breath, and always trust your cape.
Now he's all grown up with a flour sack cape tied all around his dreams,
And he's full of piss and vinegar and he's busting' at the seams.
So he 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
Now he's old and grey with a flour sack cape tied all around his head,
He's still jumpin' of the garage and will be till he's dead.
All these years the people said, he's acting like a kid.
He did not know he could not fly, so he did.
CHORUS (repeat CHORUS) (repeat ? CHORUS)
