[Verse]
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                               
The dudes have envied him for so long
             D
Ooh superfly ■


[Chorus]
             A                 E        
You're gonna make your fortune by and by
D          A                 E         D  
But if you lose don't ask no questions why
E   D    A                E7       
The only game you know is do or die


[Verse]
A      A7 E7                
Ahhaha ■  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


[Chorus]
    E7      
Ooh superfly
D              A                 E         D

E7             Em7                  
■  That's what he tryin' to do y'all


[Chorus]
Cmaj7                      
Taking all that he can take
                  C       Em  
Gambling with the odds of fate

Bsus4 E7      
Ooh   superfly


[Verse]
D              E7  
The aim of his role
       E7                
Was to move a lot of blow
E7               
Ask him his dream
             E7  
What does it mean
   E7           
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


[Chorus]
    E7      
Ooh superfly
Bm              A                 E      E7
