  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.
