The Supermen

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  
And gloomy browed with superfear 
          F
their tragic endless lives
                  E
Could heave nor sigh

In solemn, perverse serenity
                             F*    
Wonderous beings chained to life
G*

CHORUS #1:
 F        G                       
Strange games they would play 
  F    G
then, no death for the perfect men
Ab     Bb                      
Life rolls into one for them, 
Am   F        Ab      C
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

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.
