THE SUPERMEN- David Bowie
F* G*
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
Am Am/G F
And gloomy browed with superfear their tragic endless lives
E
Could heave nor sigh
In solemn, perverse serenity
F* G*
Wonderous beings chained to life
CHORUS #1:
F G F G
Strange games they would play then, no death for the perfect men
Ab Bb Am F Ab C
Life rolls into one for them, so softly a supergod cries
Where all were minds in uni-thought
Power wierd by mystics taught
No pain, no joy, no power too great
Colossal stength to grasp a fate
Where sad eyed mermen tossed in slumber
Nightmare dreams no mortal mind could hold
Man would tear his brother's flesh
A chance to die, to turn to mold
CHORUS #2:
Far out in the red sky, far out from the sad eyes
Strange, mad celebration, so softly a supergod cries
CHORUS #3:
Far out in the red sky, far out from the sad eyes
Strange, mad celebration, so softly, a supergod dies
F*: alternate bass notes between F and E
G*: alternate bass notes between G and E
NOTE: From The Man Who Sold the World, 1971, but I figured this out from
the more acoustic bonus track version on (I think) Hunky Dory.
This is just my best guess- any improvements are welcome.
