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.
