G C G Em G C G Em
[Verse 1]
Am C G D
Captain Fantastic raised and regimented, hardly a hero.
G C D
Just someone his mother might know.
Am G Dm G
Very clearly a case for corn flakes and classics.
C Cm
"Two teas both with sugar please".
G Em
In the back of an alley.
[Verse 2]
Am C
While little Dirt Cowboys, turned brown in their saddles.
G D G C D
Sweet chocolate biscuits. And red rosy apples in summer.
Am G Dm G
For it's hay make and "Hey mom, do the papers say anything good.
C Cm
Are there chances in life for little Dirt Cowboys,
G Bb C G
Should I make my way out of my home in the woods?"
[Verse 3]
Am C
Brown Dirt Cowboy, still green and growing.
G D
City slick Captain.
G
Fantastic the feedback,
C D
The honey the hive could be holding.
Am G Dm G
For there's weak winged young sparrows, that starve in the winter.
C Cm
Broken young children on the wheels of the winners.
G Bb C G
And the sixty-eight summer festival wallflowers are thinning.
[Chorus]
Em C F C F C F C F
For cheap easy meals are hardly a home on the range.
Em C F C F C F C F
Too hot for the band with a desperate desire for change.
G C G
We've thrown in the towel too many times.
C G
Out for the count and when we're down,
C G C
Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy.
Bb C G
From the end of the world to your town.
[Verse 4]
Am C
And all this talk of Jesus, coming back to see us.
G D
Couldn't fool us.
G C D
For we were spinning out our lines walking on the wire.
Am G Dm
Hand in hand went music and the rhyme.
G C Cm
The Captain and the Kid stepping in the ring.
G Bb C G
From here on sonny, sonny sonny, it's a long and lonely climb.
