Tuning: E2 A2 D3 G3 B3 E4 (low to high)
{tuning: Standard (EADGBE)}
[F]Tar[C]zan [F]wasn't a [C]ladies man
[F]He'd just [C]come along and [F]swoop 'em up un[C]der his [Am]arm like [G]that
[Am]Quick as a [G]cat in the [Dm]jungle [G]
But [F]Clark [C]Kent, now [F]there was a [C]real gent
[F]He would [C]not be caught [F]sittin' aro[C]und in no [Am]jungle[G]scape
[Am]Dumb as an [G]ape doing [Dm]nothing [G]
{[C]:Chorus}
[F]Superman never [G]made any money [C]saving the world from [F]Solomon Grundy
And [C]sometimes I [F]despair the [C]world will never [F]see another [G]man like him
[F]Hey [C]Bob, [F]Supe had a [C]straight job
[F]Even [F]though he could have [F]smashed through any [C]bank in the [Am]United [G]States
[Am]He had the [G]strength but he [Dm]would not [G]
[F]Folks [C]said his [F]family were [C]all dead
[F]Their planet [C]crumbled but [F]Superman he [C]forced himself to [Am]carry [G]on
[Am]Forget Kry[G]pton and keep [Dm]going [G]
{[C]:Chorus}
[Am]Tar[G]zan was [Am]king of the [G]jungle and [F]lord over all the [C]apes [G]
[Am]But [G]he could [Am]hardly [G]string together [F]four wo[C]rds: " [F]I
Tar[C]zan, you [G]Jane"
[F]Some[C]times when [F]Supe was [C]stopping crimes
[F]I'll [C]bet that he was [F]tempted to just [C]quit and turn his [Am]back on [G]man
[Am]Join Tar[G]zan in the [Dm]forest [G]
[F]But [C]he [F]stayed in the [C]city and [F]kept [C]changing clothes in [F]dirty
old [C]phonebooths
Til his [Am]work was [G]through and [Am]nothing to [G]do but go [Dm]on home [G]
