Subject: TAB: superman.tab by Goldfinger
This is my version of a great song by a cool band, Goldfinger. I'm pretty
sure about most of it, but let me know if you have any suggestions,
changes, etc.
Intro: (played in the order given and with ska upstrokes)
(*Play this 1st time only. After this, play A in place of riff)
The second time this is played, I believe a second guitar comes in with
the bass playing these barre chords, and it gets louder as the
progression goes on:
(Play this while 1st guitar keeps playing the ska progression)
So here I am, doing everything I can. Holding on to what I
am, pretending I'm a superman.
(Verse:)(ska upstrokes)
I'm trying to keep the ground on my feet.
It seems the world's falling down around me.
The nights are all long, I'm singing this song
to try and make the answers more than maybe.
(This part uses barre chords:)
And I'm so con-fused, about what to do, sometimes I wanna
throw it all away.
So here I am, looking older all the time. Growing older
all the time, feeling younger in my mind.
I'm trying to sleep. I lost count of sheep.
My mind is racing faster every minute. What could
I do more? Yeah I'm really not sure. I know I'm
running circles but I can't quit.
And I'm so confused about what to do.
Sometimes I want to throw it all away.
(Bridge, using these chords:)
Controlling everything in sight, I'm feeling weak I don't
feel right. You're telling me I have to change, telling me
to act my age. But if all that I can do is just sit and
watch time go, then I'll have to say goodbye. Life's too
Hi Hi
short to watch it fly, so watch it flyyyyyyyyyy.
Solo:
This is played twice, and that's the song!
E-mail me with any complaints, compliments, or anything in between.
Thanks, and I hope you like the tab!
