[Intro]
G D/F# G
 
[Verse 1]
G  D/F# G        D/F#
Tarzan, wasn't a ladies man,
G         D              G             D         Bm      A     Bm
He'd just come along and scoop them up under his arm like that, quick as a
A          Em       A
cat in the jungle.
G         D         G           D
But Clark Kent, now there was a real gent,
G        D             G          D             A
He would not be caught sittin' around in no jungle scape
Bm         A         Em         A
Dumb as an ape doing nothing.
 
[Chorus]
G              A               D          D/E   G
Superman never made any money, saving the world from Solomon Grundy,
    D           G           D                G          A
And sometimes I despair the world will never see another man, like him.
 
[Verse 2]
G   D    G          D
Hey Bob, Supe had a straight job
G    D                    G                   D          Bm     A
Even though he could have smashed through any bank in the United States
Bm         A               Em          G
He had the strength but he would not
G     D        G            D
Folks said his family were all dead
G            D            G           D                Bm    A
Their planet crumbled but Superman he forced himself to carry on
   Bm      A            Em      A
Forget Krypton and keep going
 
[Chorus]
G              A               D          D/E             G
Superman never made any money, saving the world from Solomon Grundy,
    D           G           D                G          A
And sometimes I despair the world will never see another man, like him.
 
[Bridge]
Bm A       Bm          A          G        D              A
Tarzan was king of the jungle and lord over all the apes
Bm  A        Bm     A               G          G     D       A
But he could hardly string together four words: "I Tarzan, you Jane"
 
[Verse 3]
G   D          G        D
Sometimes when Supe was stopping crimes,
G    D               G               D                Bm           A
I'll bet that he was tempted to just quit and turn his back on man
Bm      A          Em       A
Join Tarzan in the forest
 
G   D  G             D     G    D                  G         D
But he stayed in the city, kept changing clothes in dirty old phonebooths
         Bm       A        Bm         A                  A
'Til his work was rued and nothing to do but go on
 
[Chorus]
G              A               D                     G
Superman never made any money, saving the world from Solomon Grundy,
    D           G           D                G          A
And sometimes I despair the world will never see another man, like him.
 
[Outro]
    D           G           D                G          A
And sometimes I despair the world will never see another man, like him.

Lack of accuracy. Clearly wrong. terrible... not accurate at all. at least try next time? capo on nine for a song that low? are you drunk?
