    It's a Super Duper Life by Cat Stevens (1968)


Intro

  A                   C         
| / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | (x2)


Verse 1

A
  See the funny little people running round in circles,
   C
Throwing bombs, as they do,
G                                      C       D7         G  E7
  See the funny sight of it, they're headed straight for you----,
A
  See the funny little holes they're making,
                C
Looking like craters on the Moon,
G                                      C    D7       G   E7
  See the funny side of it, we'll be living in them soon---



Chorus
            A      E
But it's a super life,
    D     E      A     E      F
A super duper, duper life we live,
       E      A     E
Yes, it's a super life,
    D     E      A     G      F
A super duper, duper life we live,
 C        E                       D
But it's getting pretty near the end,
                A     G       F
'Cause with a super life you win,
 C    E                     D
And borrow everything you lend,
            F#7                B
So there's never anything to spend,
  E      A     D    G   E7
You're broke, you dope you!






Verse 2
A
  See the funny little flying saucer we found,
  C
Painted up just for you,
G                                 C      D7     G  E7
  See the funny man inside, his colour matches too----,
A
  See the silly little camera he loads,
  C
Shooting pictures with, all the day,
G                                 C         D7        G  E7
  See the funny side of it, his friends are on their way----


Chorus
            A      E
But it's a super life,
    D     E      A     E      F
A super duper, duper life we live,
       E      A     E
Yes, it's a super life,
    D     E      A     G      F
A super duper, duper life we live,
 C        E                       D
But it's getting pretty near the end,
                A     G       F
'Cause with a super life you win,
 C    E                     D
And borrow everything you lend,
            F#7                B
So there's never anything to spend,
  E      A     D    G   E7
You're broke, you dope you!
