F When all the world was very young G And mountain magic heavy hung F The supermen would walk in file G Guardians of a loveless isle A G And gloomy browed with super fear C Esus4 Their tragic endless lives could heave nor sigh E In solemn perverse serenity F G Wonderous beings chained to life Chorus: F G Strange games they would play then F G No death for the perfect men G# A# Life rolls into one for them Am F G# C So softly a super God cries Where all were minds in uni-thought Powers weird by mystics taught No pain, no joy, no power too great Colossal strength to grasp a fate Where sad-eyed mermen tossed in slumbers Nightmare dreams no mortal mind could hold A man would tear his brother's flesh A chance to die, to turn to mold Chorus: Far out in the red-sky Far out from the sad eyes Strange, mad celebration So softly a supergod cries Far out in the red-sky Far out from the sad eyes Strange, mad celebration So softly a supergod dies You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  Am  A#  C  E  Esus4  F  G  G#  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
