Song: Superman's Song
By:   Crash Test Dummies

[intro:] Eb Bb Eb Bb F 

[verse: 1]
Eb   Bb  Eb        Bb 
Tarzan wasn't a ladies man
Eb         Bb              Eb               Bb       Gm       F
He'd just come along and swoop them up under his arm like that
Gm         F          Cm      F
Quick as a cat in the jungle
     Eb    Bb         Eb             Bb
But Clark Kent, now there was a real gent
Eb        Bb             Eb       Bb          Gm     F   
He would not be caught sitting around in no jungle scape
Gm         F         Cm       F
Dumb as an ape doing nothing 

[chorus:]
Eb               F              Bb                     Eb
Superman never made any money saving the world from Solomon Grundy
      Bb          Eb          Bb             Eb           F 
And sometimes I despair the world will never see another man like him

[verse: 2]
Eb  Bb    Eb           Bb
Hey Bob, Supe had a straight job
Eb     Bb                    Eb                Bb           Gm     F
Even though he could have smashed through any bank in the United States
Gm            F              Cm           F
He had the strength but he would not
Eb      Bb        Eb           Bb
Folks said his family were all dead
Eb            Bb            Eb          Bb               Gm   F 
Their planet crumbled but Superman he forced himself to carry on
Gm        F         Cm          F
Forget Krypton and keep going   

[chorus:]    {repeat}

[bridge:]
Gm  F      Gm           F          Eb                Bb    F
Tarzan was king of the jungle and lord over all the apes 
Gm  F         Gm     F         Eb                 Bb             F
But he could hardly string together four words: " I Tarzan, you Jane"

[verse: 3]
Eb   Bb         Eb        Bb
Sometimes when Supe was stopping crimes
Eb   Bb                Eb        Bb                    Gm      F
I'll bet that he was tempted to just quit and turn his back on man
Gm     F           Cm       F
Join Tarzan in the forest  
Eb   Bb  Eb           Bb       Eb    Bb                  Eb        Bb
But he stayed in the city and kept changing clothes in dirty old phone booths
         Gm        F           Gm         F         Cm      F
Til his work was through and nothing to do but go on home 

[chorus:]    {repeat}

[coda:]
      Bb          Eb          Bb             Eb           F 
And sometimes I despair the world will never see another man like him
