[C]Eight years old with a f[Am]flower sack cape
Tied [F]all [G]around his [C]neck
[C]He climbed up on[Am]on the garage

[F]And always t[G]trust your c[C]cape
[C]All grown up with a f[Am]flour sack cape
Tie a[F]all a[G]around his [C]dreams
[C]He's full of piss and [Am]vinegar
He's [F]bustin at the s[G]seams
He l[C]licked his finger and [Am]checked the wind
