Am7              Bm C                    C        G D
Captain Fantastic raised and regimented, hardly a hero
G              C              D
Just someone his mother might know
Am7              G        Dm7              G7
Very clearly a case for corn flakes and classics
C                          Cm
"Two teas both with sugar please"
G        Eb7        Em
In the back of an alley


Am7                          C
While little Dirt Cowboys turned brown in their saddles
G        D        G        C/E        D/F#
Sweet chocolate biscuits and red rosy apples in summer
Am                    G Dm7              G7
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?"


Am7              G/B C
Brown Dirt Cowboy, still green and growing
G        D7
City slick Captain
G/D
Fantastic the feedback
C/E                    D
The honey the hive could be holding
Am7        G/B              Dm7              G7 Dm7 G7
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



Em C F C F C F C

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
G        Bb              C              G
From the end of the world to your town

Am7                    G/B C
And all this talk of Jesus coming back to see us
G                    D7
Mmmmmhmmmm, Couldn't fool us
G/D                    C/E              D
For we were spinning out our lines walking on the wire
Am7              G/B              D7
Hand in hand went music and the rhyme
G7 D7 G7 D7 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
