the supermen from the man who sold the world

intro : F G F G F G F G
ooh , ah ooh , ah ooh , ah ooh , ah ooh , ah

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
A G
and gloomy browed with super fear
C Esus4
their tragic endless lives could heave nor sigh
E
in solemn perverse serenity
F G
wonderous beings chained to life

chorus 1 :
F G
strange games they would play then
F G
no death for the perfect men
G# A#
life rolls into one for them
Am F G# C
so softly a super god cries

F G F G
ooh , ah ooh , ah

F
where all were minds in uni – thought
G
power weird by mystics taught
F
no pain no joy no power too great
G
colossal strength to grasp a fate
A G
where sad eyed mermen tossed in slumber
C Esus4
nightmare dreams no mortal mind could hold
E
man would tear his brothers flesh
F G
a chance to die to turn to mould

far out in the red sky

far out from the sad eyes

strange mad celebration

so softly a super god cries
