Intro:
MIb  SIb  MIb  SIb  FA  SOLm7 FA/LA SIb

DOm7 SIb/RE

MIb SIb MIb        SIb
 Tarzan wasn't a ladies man
MIb        SIb            MIb
 He'd just come along and scoop 'em
SIb          SOLm7    FA
Up under his arm like that
SOLm7      FA          DOm7    FA
Quick as a cat, in the jungle
MIb    SIb       MIb           SIb
 Clark Kent, now there was a real gent
MIb       SIb           MIb
 He would not be caught sittin' 
 SIb         SOLm7   FA
around in no jungle scape
SOLm7      FA           DOm7    FA
Dumb as an ape, doin' nothing

MIb             FA        
 Superman never made any money
SIb        DOm7  SIb/RE MIb
Savin' the world from  Solomon Grundy
SIb            MIb
 And sometimes I despair
    SIb              MIb         FA
The world will never see another man like him

MIb  SIb  MIb          SIb
 Hey Bob, Supe had a straight job
MIb   SIb              MIb
 Even though he coulda smashed through
    SIb          SOLm7 FA
Any bank in the United States
SOLm7      FA                    DOm7   FA
He had the strength but he would not
MIb    SIb      MIb          SIb
 Folks said his family were all dead
MIb     SIb           MIb         SIb
 Planet crumbled, but Superman he forced himself
   SOLm7 FA     SOLm7   FA              DOm7   FA
To carry on, forget Krypton, and keep goin'

MIb             FA
 Superman never made any money
SIb         DOm7  SIb/RE MIb
Savin' the world from   Solomon Grundy
SIb            MIb
 And sometimes I despair
    SIb              MIb         FA
The world will never see another man like him

SOLm FA      SOLm        FA
  Tarzan was king of the jungle
    MIb               SIb FA
And lord over all the a---pes
SOLm FA       SOLm    FA 
 But he could hardly string together
MIb   SIb    MIb  SIb     FA
 Four words, I Tarzan you Jane

MIb  SIb        MIb         SIb
 Sometimes when Supe was stoppin' crimes
MIb   SIb             MIb             SIb
 I'll bet that he was tempted to just quit
             SOLm    FA
And turn his back on man
SOLm    FA           DOm7    FA
Join Tarzan in the forest
MIb  SIb MIb            SIb
 But he  stayed in the city
MIb      SIb
 Kept on changin' clothes
   MIb        SIb
In dirty old phone booths 
         SOLm     FA
'til his work was through
    SOLm       FA     DOm7         FA
Had nothin' to do but go on home

MIb             FA
 Superman never made any money
SIb         DOm7  SIb/RE MIb
Savin' the world from   Solomon Grundy
SIb            MIb
 And sometimes I despair
    SIb              MIb         FA   
The world will never see another man like him
SOLm               MIb
 And sometimes I despair
    SOLm             MIb         FA 
The world will never see another man like him...
