Superman
Tuning:E A D G B E
Key:Bb
Capo:3rd fret
[Verse 1]
G Em
There’s a little blonde boy in a superman cape
C G
Racing around the back yard;
G Em
Sayin’, “Daddy don’t you know I can fly to the moon;
C D
I’m gonna bring you back some stars.
C G
And after that I’m gonna save the world”
C G
Cause I’m superman today.”
G C
I scoop that boy right into my arms,
D G
And this is what I say:
[Chorus]
G C G
You don’t need a cape to be a hero
G D
You’ve got all the special powers that you need
C D. Em
Your smile’s enough to save the world from evil
C D G
And you’ll always be superman to me.
[Verse 2]
G Em
That little blonde boy in the cape again
C G
Says he’s gonna jump off the deck.
G Em
I say: “Little man, can’t you just slow on down;
C D
One day you’re going to break your neck.”
C G
He says, “Don’t you know that I can’t get hurt
C G
Because I’m superman today.”
G Em
Well, I scoop that boy right into my arms
C G
And this is what I say:
[Chorus]
G C G
You don’t need a cape to be a hero
G D
You’ve got all the special powers that you need
C D Em
Your smile’s enough to save the world from evil
C D G
And you’ll always be superman to me.
[Verse 3]
G Em
One day he woke up and didn’t want his cape,
C G
And we knew that something weren’t right
G Em
The doctors said, “We just don’t know.
C D
We better keep him here for the night.”
C G
So I held his hand and stroked his hair
C G
Until somehow he fell off to sleep
G Em
Then I knelt at the window and prayed to the stars:
C G
God, help me leap.
[Verse 4]
G Em
I’ve never been much of a praying man;
C G
I’ve never had a faith very clear,
G Em
But give me a sign and I’ll step into line—
C D
Just get my boy out of here.
C G
I’ll give you everything any man’s ever got.
C G
I’ll give you every bit of my love—
G Em
And a prayer came back to me
C G
In a whisper from above…saying:
[Chorus]
G C G
You don’t need a cape to be his hero
G D
You’ve got all the special powers that you need
C D Em
Your smile’s enough to save the world from evil
C D G
And you’ll always be superman to me.
[Verse 5]
G Em
That little boy woke up in a hospital room
C G
Looking so quiet and sad.
G Em
I bring him in his cape and I say “Big man,
C D
How about a smile for Dad?”
C G
And those wide blue eyes fill up with tears
C G
“I’m not superman today.”
G Em
Well, I scooped that boy right into my arms
C G
And this is what I said,
[Chorus]
G C G
You don’t need a cape to be my hero
G D
You’ve got all the special powers that you need
C D Em
Your smile’s enough to save the world from evil
C D G
And you’ll always be superman to me.
C D G
Yeah, you’ll always be superman to me…
