The Supermen Chords

THE SUPERMEN from The Man Who Sold The World
 
 
[Intro]
 
Ooh, ah
F      G     F      G
  Ooh, ah      Ooh, ah
F      G     F      G
  Ooh, ah      Ooh, ah
 
 
[Verse 1]
     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
 
 
[Interlude]
F      G
  Ooh, ah
F      G
  Ooh, ah
 
 
[Verse 2]
      F
Where all were minds in uni-thought
G
Powers 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 slumbers
C                                      Esus4
 Nightmare dreams no mortal mind could hold
                             E
Man would tear his brother's 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

[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 dies
