Ageing Superhero Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Verse

With the "Am5..." chord, he plays it like that every time it comes round,

with the two pull-offs. If you listen to the song, you can hear the exact rhythm.

Chorus

The succession of G3 chords followed by C9 is played in the chorus under the

lyrics "growing all alone" and later "before I'm all alone". The chords are

played each to one syllable, I've tried to make this clear below, but I just

thought I'd put a note in here to make it absolutely clear.

A chord followed by "~" shows that it should be plucked once and allowed to ring out.

Enjoy!

G Every time I think of Dgrowing up I find out that I G7Mjust slipped back,

I got it all wrong you know I,

Feels kinda stupid but I,

G Feel 16 in my Dhead but I guess it's only G7Mfive years back
