Ode To a Superhero

C  Em/B  Am  G  F  G  C


[Verse 1]
     C     Em/B       Am      C/G
Poor Peter Parker was pitiful
F             C/E      D7     G7
Couldn't have been any shyer
C    Em/B                Am         C/G
Mary Jane still wouldn't notice him
     F      G7          C     F/C
Even if his hair was on fire


[Verse 2]
         C          Em/B         Am         C/G
But then one day he went to that science lab
     F       C/E         D7    G7
That mutated spider came  down
        C               Em/B            Am      C/G
Oh, and now Peter crawls  over everyone's walls
    F              G        C
And he's swingin' all over town


[Interlude]
Am        Am/G       D7/F#  F  Am
La li la,      li de da
      Am/G      D7/F#    G  G/F  C/E  G7/D
La la,    li le la    da dom


[Verse 3]
C          Em/B            Am        G
Sling us a web, you're the Spider-Man
F          C/E    D7    G7
Sling us a web to-night
             C          Em/B           Am     G
'Cause we're all in the  mood for a hero  now
      F           G7       C
And there's evil-doers to fight


[Verse 4]
    C         Em/B         Am          C/G
Now Harry the rich kid's a  friend of his
    F           C/E  D7    G7
Who horns in on Mary Jane
       C         Em/B              Am          C/G
But to his great surprise it seems she prefers guys
        F           G7          C    F/C
Who can kiss upside–down in the rain


[Verse 5]
      C                      Em/B     Am      C/G
"With great power comes great  responsibility"
           F               C/E       D7   G7
That's the catch phrase of old Uncle Ben
       C                Em/B           Am          C/G
If you missed it, don't worry, they'll say the line
F         G         C
Again and again and again


[Interlude]
Am      Am/G       D7/F#  F  Am
La li la,    li de da
     Am/G      D7/F#     G   G/F  C/E  G7/D
La la,   li le la    da  dom


[Verse 6]
    C           Em/B        Am       C/G
Now Norman's a  billionaire scientist
    F         C/E          D7  G7
Who never had time for his son
         C              Em/B       Am         C/G
But then something went screwy and before you knew he
    F         G7        C   F/C
Was trying to kill everyone


[Verse 7]
         C      Em/B           Am           C/G
And he's ridin' around on that glider thing
           F           C/E          D7    G7
And he's throwin' that weird pumpkin  bomb
                C          Em/B           Am     C/G
Yes, he's wearin' that dumb  Power Rangers  mask
           F      G         C
But he's scarier without it on

[Verse 8]
C          Em/B            Am        G
Sling us a web, you're the Spider-Man
F          C/E    D7   G7
Sling us a web to-night
              C                Em            Am        G
'Cause you're brave and you're strong and so  limber now
    F                G                 C
But where'd you come up with those tights?

[Verse 9]
       C          Em/B        Am      C/G
It's a pretty sad day  at the funeral
        F         C/E        D7   G7
Norman Osborn has bitten the dust
       C            Em/B          Am         C/G
And I heard Harry's said he wants Spider-Man dead
        F          G7           C   F/C
Aw, but his buddy Pete he can trust


[Verse 10]
        C         Em/B       Am        C/G
Oh, and M.J. is all  hot for Peter now
         F         C/E                 D7  G7
Aw, but  Peter, he just shuts her down
     C               Em/B         Am        C/G
Mary Jane, don't you cry, you can  give it a try
F               G            C
Again when the  sequel comes 'round

    F              G             C
And we think that you'll do all right
