The Supermen David Bowie
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
And gl[Am]oomy browed with su[Am/G]perfear their tr[F]agic endless lives
Could heave nor si[E]gh
In solemn, perverse serenity
F* G*
Wonderous beings chained to life
CHORUS #1:
S[F]trange ga[G]mes they would play then, [F]no de[G]ath for the perfect men
[Ab]Life ro[Bb]lls into one for them, s[Am]o sof[F]tly a sup[Ab]ergod cr[C]ies
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.
