Capo 3rd Fret
C G C G
Tarzan wasn’t a ladies’ man
C G C G Em
He’d just come along and scoop ’em up under his arm
D Em D Am D
Like that, quick as a cat in the jungle
C G C G
But Clark Kent, now there was a real gent
C G C G
He would not be caught sittin’ around in no
Em D Em D Am D
Junglescape, dumb as an ape doing nothing
Chorus:
C D
Superman never made any money
G C
For saving the world from Solomon Grundy
G C G C
And sometimes I despair the world will never see
D
Another man like him
C G C G
Hey Bob, Supe had a straight job
C G C G
Even though he could have smashed through any bank
Em D Em D Am D
In the United States, he had the strength, but he would not
C G C G
Folks said his family were all dead
C G C G
Their planet crumbled but Superman, he forced himself
Em D Em D Am D
To carry on, forget Krypton, and keep going
Chorus:
Em D Em D C G D
Tarzan was king of the jungle and Lord over all the apes
Em D Em D C G
But he could hardly string together four words:
C G D
“I Tarzan, You Jane.”
C G C G
Sometimes when Supe was stopping crimes
C G C G Em
I’ll bet that he was tempted to just quit and turn his back
D Em D Am D
On man, join Tarzan in the forest
C G C G C G
But he stayed in the city, and kept on changing clothes
C G Em D
In dirty old phonebooths till his work was through
Em D Am D
And nothing to do but go on home
Chorus
