Chords for David Bowie - The Supermen (Hunky Dory 1990)

[F] _ [C] _ [F] _ [C] _ [G] _ _ _ [Em]
[F] When all the world was [G] very young, Mountain magic heavy [F] hung,
[C] The supermen would walk and [G] file, Guardians of the loveless [A] isle,
And gloomy brow'd with super fear, [C] Their endless tragic lies could heave [E] no sigh,
[D] In solemn, [E] perverse serenity, Wondrous beings [G] [E] chained to [F] life.
[Ab] _ [G] _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ [G] Strange games they would play [F] then, _ _ [G] No death for the perfect [Ab] men,
_ _ [Bb] Life rose [Am] into one for them, So [F] softly [Ab] the [C] supergod groaned. _ _ _ _ _
_ [Fm] _ _ _ [Ab] _ [G] _ _ _
_ [F] _ [Ab] _ [F] _ [Ab] _ [G] _ _ _
Where all were minds in unithought, Powers weared by mystics,
Taught no pain, no joy, no power too great, Colossal strength to grasp for [A] fate,
Where sad-eyed mermen tossed in [C] slumbers, Nightmare dreams no mortal [Bm] mind could hold,
Man would tear his [E] brother's flesh, A chance to die, [G] to turn to [E] mold.
[F] _ [G] _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ [F] _ _ [G] Far out in the red skies, [F] _ Far [G] out from the sad [Ab] eyes,
_ _ [Bb] Strange mass [Am] celebrations, _ _ So [F] [Ab] softly a supergod [C] _ dies. _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ Far [G] out in the red [F] skies, _ Far [G] out from the sad [Ab] eyes,
_ _ [Bb] Strange mass [Am] celebrations, _ _ [F] So softly [Ab] a [A] supergod [C] dies. _ _ _ _ _
