Superstar - The Carpenters

"Superstar" is a 1969 song written by Bonnie Bramlett and Leon Russell (with a songwriting credit also given to Delaney Bramlett) that has been a hit for many artists in different genres and interpretations in the years since; the best known version is by the Carpenters in 1971.

Am       G 
 Long ago
       F          Em 
And oh so far away
          Dm           F
I fell in love with you
           Em    
Before the second show

Am           G
Your guitar,
          F                 Em
It sounds so sweet and clear
               Dm          F 
But you're not really there
              Em 
It's just the radio


F                     Em           Dm      C                  
Don't you remember you told me you loved me baby?
F                       Em             Dm   C        
You said you'd be coming back this way again baby.
F          E     Dm      C            
Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh baby,
  A#         Am 
I love you, I really do.


Am         G    
Loneliness
          F         Em       
Is such a sad affair
          Dm          F     
And I can hardly wait
           Em    
To be with you again

Am          G   
What to say,
            F          Em   
To make you come again?
             D        F  
Come back to me again,
              Em 
And play your sad guitar


F                     Em           Dm      C                  
Don't you remember you told me you loved me baby?
F                       Em             Dm   C        
You said you'd be coming back this way again baby.
F          E     Dm      C            
Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh baby,
  A#         C 
I love you, I really do.

F                     Em           Dm      C                  
Don't you remember you told me you loved me baby?
F                       Em             Dm   C        
You said you'd be coming back this way again baby.
F          E     Dm      C            
Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh baby,
  A#         Am 
I love you, I really do.
