Song: Superman 
Band: Goldfinger 
Album: Hang-ups (1997) 
 
 
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) 
   D    A    Em   Bm   Em   F#m  Em 
 
E--5----5----7----2----7----9----7---*12-12-9-9-10-10-9- 
B--7----5----8----3----8---10----8---------------------- 
G--7----6----9----4----9---11----9---------------------- 
D--7----7----9----4----9---11----9---------------------- 
A------------------------------------------------------- 
E------------------------------------------------------- 
(*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: 
 
E------------------------------------- 
B------------------------------------- 
G--7-------9---4---9---11---12-------- 
D--7---7---9---4---9---11---12---7---- 
A--5---7---7---2---7----9---10---7---- 
E------5-------------------------5---- 
   D   A   E   B   E   F#   G    A   
 
(Play this while 1st guitar keeps playing the ska progression) 
 
D         A    E B E 
So here I am... 
F# G A

(This part uses barre chords:) 
 
        G  D  A      G E D G

D         A   Em Bm Em 
So here I am...
