Cape Chords & Lyrics - Eric Bibb

[C]Eight years old with a f[Am]lower sack cape
Tied [F]all around his ne[G]ck
[C]He climbed up on[Am] the garage
[F]Figurin' what the h[G]eck
[C]He screwed his courage u[Am]p so tight
The [F]whole thing [G]came un[C]wound
[Am]He got a runnin' start and [C]bless his heart
He [F]headed [G]for the [C]ground

[CHORUS]
[F]He's one of those who knows that life
Is j[Am]ust a leap of f[C]aith
[C]Spread your arms and [Am]hold your breath
[F]And always t[G]rust your c[C]ape

[C]All grown up with a f[Am]lour sack cape
Tie a[F]ll around his dr[G]eams
[C]He's full of piss and [Am]vinegar
He's [F]bustin at the s[G]eams
He l[C]icked his finger and [Am]checked the wind
It's [F]gonna be d[G]o or d[C]ie
[Am]He wasn't scared of n[C]othin', Boys
He was p[F]retty sure [G]he could f[C]ly

[CHORUS]
[F]He's one of those who knows that life
Is j[Am]ust a leap of f[C]aith
[C]Spread your arms and [Am]hold your breath
[F]And always t[G]rust your c[C]ape

[C]Old and grey with a f[Am]lour sack cape
Tied a[F]ll around his h[G]ead
[C]He's still jumpin' o[Am]ff the garage
And w[F]ill be 'till he's d[G]ead
[C]All these years the p[Am]eople said
He's a[F]ctin l[G]ike a k[C]id
[Am]He did not know he c[C]ould not fly [F]
[G]So he d[C]id

[CHORUS]
[F]He's one of those who knows that life
Is j[Am]ust a leap of f[C]aith
[C]Spread your arms and [Am]hold your breath
[F]And always t[G]rust your c[C]ape
