# intro and verses: vamp on E7 on beats 1 and 6 (out of 8, of course)

E7
Darkest of night
              E7
With the moon shining bright
          E7
There's a set goin' strong
                   E7
Lotta things goin' on
    E7
The man of the hour
                    E7
Has an air of great power
    E7                                E7
The dudes have envied him for so long

E7
Oh, superfly
       D          A            E7
You're gonna make your fortune by and by
           D           A      E7
But if you lose, don't ask no questions why
         D        A       E7
The only game you know is do or die
D  A  D  A
Ah-Ah-Ay

E7
Hard to understand
                 E7
What a hell of a man
     E7
This cat of the slum
               E7
Had a mind, wasn't dumb
      E7 
But a weakness was shown
                      E7
'Cause his hustle was wrong
    E7
His mind was his own
                   E7
But the man lived alone

    E7
Oh, superfly
       D     A                 E7
You're gonna make your fortune by and by
           D           A      E7
But if you lose, don't ask no questions why
         D        A       E7
The only game you know is do or die
D  A  A  E7
Ah-Ah-Ay

    C                Am
The game he plays he plays for keeps
C                  Am                           E7
Hustlin' times and ghetto streets tryin' ta get over
                         E7
That's what he tryin' to do, y'all
C               Am
Taking all that he can take
C                 Am
Gambling with the odds of fate
              E7                 A
Tryin' to get over tryin' to get over
              G                  A          A
Tryin' to get over tryin' to get over

E7 (vamp 1 and 6 again, x4)
Superfly

    E7
The aim of his role
                     E7
Was to move a lot of blow
E7
Ask him his dream
                      E7
What does it mean? He wouldn't know
E7
Can't be like the rest
                     E7
Is the most he'll confess
        E7
But the time's running out
               E7
And there's no happiness

    E7
Oh, superfly
       C          Am           E7
You're gonna make your fortune by and by
           C           Am     E7
But if you lose, don't ask no questions why
          C       Am      E7
The only game you know is do or die
D  A  A  E7
Ah-Ah-Ay

E7       E7  (1 and 6 again)

              E7
