INTRO
F | Bb | F | DmF | Bb | F | Dm
VERSE
FBb/FF
I've been out on this road some
Am7Dm
Can't help feeling I've been showing my friends around
BbF/A
I've seen it growing from next to nothing
Gm7F/AC7
Into a giant eating up your town
VERSE
FBb/FF
Called up the tea leaves and the ta - rots
Am7Dm
Asked the gypsy what she sees in the palm of our hands
BbF/A
She saw a mountain and wild deer running
Gm7F/AC7
A crazy kid becoming a better man
BRIDGE
Gm7
But we stuck around for the fireworks
BbC7
Waiting to explode
A7Dm
Shaped our futures, you a tumbleweed
BbC
And me on a yellow brick road
Gm7
Pleasing the people some of the time
BbC7
For better or for worse
A7Dm
An urban soul in a fine silk suit
BbG/BC7
And a heart out west in a Wrangler shirt
Chorus
FDm
And you can't go back and if you try it fails
BbF/C
Looking up ahead I see a rusty nail
FDm
A sign hanging from it saying 'Truth for sale'
Bb
And that's what we did
G/BF/C
No lies at all just one more tale
CA7/C#Dm
About the Captain and the Kid
VERSE
FBb/FF
We've been missing at times in action
CDm
Can't imagine what he said he might do for you
BbF/A
The devil got to come to the party sometimes
Gm7F/AC7
But he never got to wear our shoes
FBb/FF
Oh we've conjured up what we created
CDm
Way back then when I was standing up in six-inch heels
BbF/A
Now you're riding off into the sunset
Gm7F/AC7
And I'm still spinning like a Catherine wheel
BRIDGE
Gm7
But we stuck around for the battle
BbC7
Waiting for a plan
A7Dm
To turn you into the Brown Dirt Cowboy
BbC7
And me into a rocket man
Gm7
It pleases the people some of the time
BbC7
Digging into our roots
A7Dm
But I got a brand new pair of shoes
BbG/BC7
And you're on a horse in old cowboy boots
Chorus
FDm
And you can't go back and if you try it fails
BbF/C
Looking up ahead I see a rusty nail
FDm
A sign hanging from it saying 'Truth for sale'
Bb
And that's what we did
G/BF/C
No lies at all just one more tale
CA7/C#Dm
About the Captain and the Kid
FDm
And you can't go back and if you try it fails
BbF/C
Looking up ahead I see a rusty nail
FDm
A sign hanging from it saying 'Truth for sale'
Bb
And that's what we did
G/BF/C
No lies at all just one more tale
CA7/C#Dm
About the Captain and the Kid
