ONCE YOU'VE PLAYED THE INTRO, THEN JUMP STRAIGHT INTO VERSE 1

Intro

  
  
  
  

Verse 1

High above the mucky-muck, castle made of clouds
There sits Wonderboy, sitting oh so proudly
Not much to say when you're high above the mucky-muck, yeah, yeah

Chorus

Wonderboy, what is the secret of your power?
Wonderboy, won't you take me far away from the mucky-muck man?

Bridge

  
  
  
  

Verse 2

Now it's time for me to tell you about Young Nastyman
Arch rival and nemesis of Wonderboy, with powers comparable to Wonderboy
What powers do you ask? I dunno, how about the power of flight?
That do anything for ya? That's levitation, Holmes 
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

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

Wonderboy, what is the secret of your power?
Wonderboy, won't you take me far away from the mucky-muck man?

Bridge

  
  
  
  

Verse 4

Well, Wonderboy and Young Nastyman joined forces;
They formed a band the likes of which had never been seen,
And they called themselves Tenacious D. That's right,
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

  
  
      

Chorus

Wonderboy, what is the secret of your power?
Wonderboy, won't you take me far away from the mucky-muck man?

Outro

Oh! Take my hand! Young Nasty Man, and we'll fly!
Bring out your broadsword, there's the hydra
Slice his throat, and grab his scrote
You take the high road, I'll take the low
There, the crevasse, fill it, with some mighty juice!
