(C)Eight years (C/B)old with a (Am)flour sack (Am/G)cape
Tied (F)all a(G)round (G/B)his (C)neck,(C/G)
(C)He climbed (C/B)up on (Am)the ga(Am/G)rage,
He´s (F)figurin’ what the (G)heck.
(C)Screwed his (C/B)courage (Am)up so (Am/G)tight
That the (F)whole thing (G)come (G/B)un(C)wound,(C/G)
He got a (C)runnin’ (C/B)start and (Am)bless his (Am/G)heart,
He (F)headed (G)for (G/B)the (C)ground.
Well, he’s (Am)one of those who (G)know that life

(C)Spread your (C/B)arms and (Am)hold your (Am/G)breath,
And (F)always (G)trust (G/B)your (C)cape.

And he’s (C)full of (C/B)piss and (Am)vine(Am/G)gar,

More than background music.

Why no free uploads? I cover songs. Register them with the German music rights agency GEMA. They hopefully reimburse the artists. The tax authorities demand that I make (not lose) a little money each year......more
