[Intro]
G C G Em
G C G Em
[Verse]
Am C G/B D
Captain Fantastic, raised and regimented, hardly a hero
D C/E D/F#
Just someone his mother might know
Am G/B Dm7 G
Very clearly a case for corn flakes and classics
C Cm
"Two teas both with sugar please"
G Em/D Em
In the back of an alley
[Verse]
Am C
While little Dirt Cowboys, turned brown in their saddles
C G/B Am G D Dsus4 C/E D/F#
Sweet chocolate biscuits. And red rosy apples in summer
Am G/B Dm7 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]
Am C
Brown Dirt Cowboy, still green and growing
C G/B Am G D
City slick Captain
Dsus4
Fantastic the feedback
C/E D/F#
The honey the hive could be holding
Am G/B Dm7 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 C F C C F C C F C
For cheap easy meals, are hardly a home on the range
Em C F C C F C C F C C F C
Too hot for the band, with a desperate desire for change
G C
We've thrown in the towel too many times
G C
Out for the count and when we're down
G C G C
Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy
Bb C G
From the end of the world to your town
[Interlude]
G C G Em
[Verse]
Am C
And all this talk of Jesus, coming back to see us
C G/B Am G D
Mmm, mmmmm, couldn't fool us
Dsus4 C/E D/F#
For we were spinning out our lines, walking on the wire
Am G/B Dm7
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
[Double Chorus]
Em C F C C F C C F C C F C
For cheap easy meals, are hardly a home on the range
Em C F C C F C C F C C F C
Too hot for the band, with a desperate desire for change
G C
We've thrown in the towel too many times
G C
Out for the count and when we're down
G C G C
Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy
Bb C G
From the end of the world to your town
G C
We've thrown in the towel too many times
G C
Out for the count and when we're down
G C G C
Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy
Bb C G
From the end of the world to your town
[Outro]
