[Verse]
     Am7       G/B     CTarzGan Cwasn't a Gladies' man
 CHe'd just Gcome along and Cscoop 'em up Gunder his Emarm
Like Dthat, Emquick as a Dcat in the AmjungleD  
 CClark GKent, now Cthere was a Greal gent
 CHe would Gnot be caught Csittin' aGround in no
EmJunglesDcape, Emdumb as an Dape doing AmnothingD  
[Chorus]
 CSuperman never Dmade any money
For Gsaving the Am7world G/Bfrom CSolomon Grundy
  GAnd sometimes CI despair the Gworld will never Csee
Another Dman like him
[Verse]
 CHey GBob, CSupe had a Gstraight job
 CEven Gthough he could have Csmashed through any Gbank
In the UEmnited DStates, Emhe had the Dstrength, but he Amwould notD  
 CFolks Gsaid his Cfamily were Gall dead
 CPlanet Gcrumbled but CSuperman, he Gforced himself
To Emcarry Don, forEmget KrypDton, and keep AmgoingD  
[Chorus]
 CSuperman never Dmade any money
For Gsaving the Am7world G/Bfrom CSolomon Grundy
  GAnd sometimes CI despair the Gworld will never Csee
Another Dman like him
[Bridge]
 EmTarDzan was Emking of the Djungle and CLord over all the Ga -Dapes
 EmBut Dhe could Emhardly Dstring together Cfour Gwords: "CI TarzGan, You  DJane."
[Verse]
 CSomeGtimes when CSupe was Gstopping crimes
 CI'll Gbet that he was Ctempted to just Gquit and turn his Emback
On Dman, Emjoin TarDzan in the AmforestD  
 CBut Ghe Cstayed in the Gcity,  Ckept on Gchanging clothes
In Cdirty old Gphonebooths till his Emwork was Dthrough
And Emnothing to Ddo but go Amon homeD  
[Chorus]
 CSuperman never Dmade any money
For Gsaving the Am7world G/Bfrom CSolomon Grundy
And   Gsometimes CI despair the Gworld will never Csee
Another Dman like him
   EmAnd sometimes CI despair the Emworld will never Csee
Another Dman like him
