Elton John – Captain Fantastic And The Brown Dirt Cowboy (Ukulele)

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.

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?"

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.

Em                                                  C F C F C F C F
For cheap easy meals are hardly a home on the range.

Em                                                     C F C F C F C F
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.

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.
