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

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?"

Brown Dirt Cowboy, still green and growing 
           G       D7 
City slick Captain

Fantastic the feedback 
C/E                         D 
The honey the hive could be holding

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

For cheap easy meals are hardly a home on the range

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

And all this talk of Jesus coming back to see us

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
