THE SUPERMEN from The Man Who Sold The World


INTRO: F G F G F G F G
Ooh, ah Ooh, ah Ooh, ah Ooh, ah Ooh, ah


F
When all the world was very young
G

And mountain magic heavy hung
F
The supermen would walk in file
G
Guardians of a loveless isle
A G
And gloomy browed with super fear
C Esus4
Their tragic endless lives could heave nor sigh
E
In solemn perverse serenity
F G
Wonderous beings chained to life


CHORUS 1:
F G
Strange games they would play then
F G
No death for the perfect men
Ab Bb
Life rolls into one for them
Am F Ab C
So softly a super God cries


F G F G
Ooh, ah Ooh, ah


F
Where all were minds in uni-thought
G
Power weird by mystics taught
F
No pain no joy no power too great
G
Colossal strength to grasp a fate
A G
Where sad eyed mermen tossed in slumber
C Esus4
Nightmare dreams no mortal mind could hold
E
Man would tear his brothers flesh
F G
A chance to die to turn to mould


CHORUS 2:
F G
Far out in the red sky
F G
Far out from the sad eyes
Ab Bb
Strange mad celebration
Am F Ab C
So softly a super God cries


SOLO: D E D E D E F# G A B
A B A B A B C D
C D C D C D C


CHORUS 3:
F G
Far out in the red sky
F G
Far out from the sad eyes
Ab Bb
Strange mad celebration
Am F Ab C
So softly a super God cries
