The Cape

Written by Guy Clark/Susanna Clark/Jim Janosky

	  		 
 

Intro: G 

verse 1 
G                        Em 
Eight years old with a floursack cape 
     C     D          G 
Tied all around his neck 
G          G/F#        Em 
He climbed up on the garage 
     C                  D 
He's figurin' what the heck 
         G                      Em 
Well, he screwed up his courage up so tight 
          C           D       G 
That the whole thing come unwound 
  G              G/F#       Em 
He got a runnin' start and bless his heart 
      C      D          G 
He's headed for the ground

Interlude G G/F# Em D C D G verse 2 G Em Now he's all grown up with a floursack cape C D G Tied all around his dreams G Em And he's full of spit and vinegar C D And he's bustin' at the seams G Em Well, he licked his finger and he checked the wind C D G It's gonna be do or die G G/F# Em He wasn't scared of nothin' boys C D G He was pretty sure he could fly
