Song: Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy Release Date: 1975 Note: Just some advice, I'd listen to the song while playing along, I tried to get as accurate as possible, considering this is one of my favorite Elton John songs! Have fun with this one! Intro: GCGEGCGEm Verse 1: A C G D Captain Fantastic raised and regimented, hardly a hero. G C D Just someone his mother might know. Am G Dm G Very clearly a case for corn flakes and classics. Am Cm "Two teas both with sugar please". G Em In the back of an alley. Verse 2: A C While little Dirt Cowboys, turned brown in their saddles. G D G C D Sweet chocolate biscuits. And red rosy apples in summer. Am G Dm 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 A# C G Should I make my way out of my home in the woods?" Verse 3: A C Brown Dirt Cowboy, still green and growing. G D City slick Captain. G Fantastic the feedback, C D The honey the hive could be holding. Am G Dm G For there's weak winged young sparrows, that starve in the winter. Am Cm Broken young children on the wheels of the winners. G A# C G And the sixty-eight summer festival wallflowers are thinning. Chorus: Em F For cheap easy meals are hardly a home on the range. Em CF 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. A# C G From the end of the world to your town. Verse 4: A C And all this talk of Jesus, coming back to see us. G D Couldn't fool us. G C D For we were spinning out our lines walking on the wire. Am G Dm Hand in hand went music and the rhyme. G Am Cm The Captain and the Kid stepping in the ring. G A# C G From here on sonny, sonny sonny, it's a long and lonely climb. ~Repeat Chorus x2~ ~Repeat Intro~ END
