Tuning D# G# C# F# A# D# (one step down from standard, but you can play in
standard if you want)
This tab is copied from a magazine and is 100% perfect. The song is fun to play,
and is pretty easy except for THAT solo. I'm gonna type up the solo from the
magazine as well, but it's too long and I can't be arsed, so maybe another time, eh?

ONCE YOU'VE PLAYED THE INTRO, THEN JUMP STRAIGHT INTO VERSE 1
INTRO
RE SIb/RE x4
VERSE 1
RE SIb/RE
High above the mucky-muck, castle made of stew
RE SIb/RE
There sits Wonderboy, sitting oh so proudly
RE5 RE/DO# SIm LAsus4 SOL LA
not much to say when you're high above the mucky-muck, yeah, yeah
CHORUS
RE SIb/RE RE SIb/RE
Wonderboy, what is the secret of your power?

Wonderboy, won't you take me far away from the mucky-muck man?
BRIDGE

Now it's time for me to tell you about Young Nastyman
RE SIb/RE
Arch rival and nemesis of Wonderboy, with powers comparable to Wonderboy
RE5 RE/DO#
What powers do you ask? I dunno, how about the power of flight?
SIm LAsus4
That do anything for ya? That's levitation, Holmes
SOL RE/FA#
How 'bout the power to kill a yak from 200 yards away...
Em A7 Aadd11/A A7(v2) Dadd11/A(v2)
With mind bullets! That's teleki - nesis, Kyle
G/A A7(v3)
How 'bout the power, to move you?
VERSE 3 (CHORDS AS VERSE 1)
History of Wonderboy, and Young NastyMan
Riggah-go-goo, riggah-goo-goo
A secret to be told, a gold chest to be bold
And blasting forth in three-part harmony
CHORUS (AS ABOVE)
BRIDGE
VERSES 4
RE
Well, Wonderboy and Young Nastyman joined forces;
SIb/RE RE
they formed a band the likes of which had never been seen,
SIb/RE
And they called themselves Tenacious D. That's right,
RE5 RE/DO# SIm LAsus4 SOL LA DO SOL RE
Me! And KG! ("That's me"), we're now Tena - cious D!
Come fly with me, fly!
(These chords can be pretty hard at first if you can't remember them.
Print out the guitar chord chart seperately.)
SOLO (CHORDS AS VERSE 1)
CHORUS (AS ABOVE)
OUTRO
RE SIb/RE RE SIb/RE
Oh! Take my hand! Young Nasty Man, and we'll fly!
RE SIb/RE
Bring out your broadsword, there's the hydra
RE SIb/RE
Slice his throat, and grab his scrote
RE SIb/RE
You take the high road, I'll take the low
RE SIb/RE RE
There, the crevasse, fill it, with some mighty juice!
That's all there is. The solo is too hard for me to write up at the moment.
I'm tired. I'll give it a shot another time.
