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
[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 dies
