Explosivo by Tenacious D
Lyrics and guitar transcribed by JohnnyWu2@hotmail.com ©
notes: This song contains fairly easy chords, learning the rhythm is a bit tough but just listen and play along with it until you get it. If you disagree with any of the lyrics then just change them yourself, this is the way it sounds to me.
Part I: This is pretty basic barre chord action. Warning, your hand may start to hurt or cramp by the end of this song.
C5 G#5 A#5

b------------------------------------------
g---5--5------5-5------------------------
d---5--5------5-5-----6--6--6-----8--8 Play twice before singing .
a---3--3------3-3-----6--6--6-----8--8
e-----------------------4--4--4-----6--6
Here is the switch up part on that, it comes at the end of each "verse"
C5 G#5 G5

were molded in satan's cauldron.
Take these pics, they're souvenir satan pics.
