[G] [C]
[G] [Em]
[Am] [Em] Captain Fantastic, [C] raised and regimented, hardly [G] a [D] hero, [G] just someone [C] his mother [D] might know.
[Am] Very [G] clearly a case [Dm] for [G] cornflakes and classes, [C] two teas both with [Cm] sugar, please.
[G]
[Eb] In the [Em] back of an alley,
[A] [Am] while little dirt [C] cowboys turn brown in their saddles.
[G] Sweet [D] chocolate biscuits [G] and red [C] rosy [D] apples in summer.
[A] For it's hay [G] make and hay [Dm] month, do [G] the people say anything [C] good?
All the chances in life [Cm] for little dirt [G] cowboys, should I make my way out of [Bb] my home [C] [G] in the woods?
[Am] Brown dirt [Em] cowboys, [C] still green and growing, [G] city slick [D] captain.
[G] Fantastic the feedback, [C] the honey the hive could be [D] holding.
[Am] For there's wheat [G] winging young [Dm] sparrows, [Em] starving the winter.
[C] Broken young children [Cm] on the wheels of the winter.
[G] And the sweet summer [Bb] festival flowers [C]
are [G] thinning.
[E] And for cheap easy meals, hardly a [Em] home [C] on the [F] range.
[C] [F] [C] [F] [C]
[Em] Too hot for the fans, with a desperate desire [C] to [C] change.
[F] [C] [F] [C]
[G] We've [C] thrown in [Em] the towels [G] too many times, but [C] I'm close [G] count, captain, [C] you've got [G] me down.
Brown [C] dirt [Em] cowboys, honey, [Bb]
and all the [C] work [G] in your town.
[D] [C] [G]
[Em] [Am] And all those talk of [C] Jesus, coming back to see us.
Mmm, [G] [D] could fool us.
[G] But we were spinning [C] out our lines, walking on [D] the wire.
[A] Had a [G] hand when music and [Dm] rhyme, [G] the captain and the [C] king, stepping in the [Cm] rain.
[G] From here on, sunny, [Bb] sunny, sunny, [C] so long, [G] lonely time.
[E] For cheap [Em] easy meals, hardly a [C] home on the [F] range.
