Superman Song
Capo 3rd Fret


C      G     C           G
Tarzan     wasn't a ladies' man
C             G                       C                    G             Em
He'd just come along and swoop 'em up under his arm
         D     Em            D            Am            D
Like that, quick as a cat in the jungle

C              G               C                G
But Clark Kent, now there was a real gent
C              G                    C            G    
He would not be caught sittin' around in no
Em        D      Em             D              Am           D
Junglescape, dumb as an ape doing nothing

[Chorus:]
C                         D
Superman never made any money
G                                        C
For saving the world from Solomon Grundy
        G                 C                 G                        C
And sometimes I despair the world will never see
              D
Another man like him

C      G     C                G
Hey Bob, Supe had a straight job
C       G                                C                                G
Even though he could have smashed through any bank
           Em        D           Em        D                      Am            D
In the United States, he had the strength, but he would not
C        G          C                       G
Folks said his family were all dead
          C              G              C                    G
Their planet crumbled but Superman, he forced himself
      Em    D   Em     D                           Am     D
To carry on, forget Krypton, and keep going


[Chorus:]



Em  D         Em             D               C                         G           D
Tarzan was king of the jungle and Lord over all the apes
Em   D            Em      D                     C     G          C     G           D
But   he could hardly string together four words: "I Tarzan, You Jane."

C       G                C              G
Sometimes when Supe was stopping crimes
C     G                    C                      G                        Em
I'll bet that he was tempted to just quit and turn his back
D            Em  D                   Am        D
On man, join Tarzan in the forest
C    G      C               G                         C              G
But he stayed in the city, and kept on changing clothes
     C           G                              Em           D
In dirty old phonebooths till his work was through
         Em            D                 Am             D         
And nothing to do but go on home 


[Chorus:]
