[Verse 1]
 
E                                D      E    G
I was a young man when I died, ooooh   
E                                   D      B A G E
I was flash, I was full of pride, ooooh 
E                             D           E      G
I gave it all I gave my soul, I was so strong 
E                                     D        B A G E
I felt the thruth, I felt the pain in every song
 
 
[Chorus]
 
D              Bm       A     A7/G     E
How well you know me, you've seen me cry
C            Am           E              B7+5
I'm just a shadow in the rock and roll sky 
 
[Verse 2]
 
E                                     D         E    G
I was living in a rock and roll sky, ohhhh
E                                D    B A G E
I was a king, heavy on the style 
E                                    D          E    G
Super trouper, yes I know you well, making me shine
E                                  D                 B A G E
I couldn't see what you did to me. I was so blind
 
[Chorus]
 
D             Bm         A    A7/G     E
How well you know me, you've seen me cry
C            Am           E              B7+5
I'm just a shadow in the rock and roll sky

E                               D        E    G

E                                        D       B A G E

E                                  D              E     G
I need a home I can leave behind knowing you're there
E                                  D               B A G E
Super trouper, I can see you now, return your stare
