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

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                              A#  C        G
Should I make my way out of my home in the woods?"

Brown Dirt Cowboy, still green and growing
City slick Captain
Fantastic the feedback, the honey the hive could be holding
For there's weak winged young sparrows that starve in the winter
Broken young children on the wheels of the winners
And the '68 summer festival wallflowers are thinning

Chorus:
Em                                              C F
For cheap easy meals, are hardly a home on the range
Em                                                   C F
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
        A#            C             G
From the  end of the world to your town

And all this talk of Jesus coming back to see us
Bmm, couldn't fool us
For we were spinning out our lines walking on the wire
Hand in hand went music and the rhyme
The Captain and the Kid stepping in the ring
From here on sonny sonny sonny, it's a long and lonely climb

Chorus:
For cheap easy meals are hardly a home on the range
Too hot for the band with a desperate desire for change
We've thrown in the towel too many times
Out for the count and when we're down
Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy
From the end of the world to your town
For cheap easy meals are hardly a home on the range
Too hot for the band with a desperate desire for change
We've thrown in the towel too many times
Out for the count and when we're down
Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy
From the end of the world to your town

We've thrown in the towel too many times
Out for the count and when we're down
Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy
From the end of the world to your town
