The Ballad Of Hollywood Jack Chords
This is a modified version of DeX3's chord write up. 95% of
the work is his, I just tweaked a couple of chords and added
a walkdown which sounds closer to the real thing to my ear.

INTRO:
2x: Em C D/F
Em C D/F
This is the ballad of Hollywood Jack and the Rage Cage
Em C D/F
Nothing could stop them when Jables and Rage hit the stage
Em C D/F
And Hollywood Jack hit the big time and when to make movies
Em C D/F
Rage Kage was left far behind in the dust of his dreams
Em D/F G C* B7
And he grumbled and growled and watched Hollywood Jack on Jay Leno
Em D/F G C* B7
He bellowed and said he'd be nothing without help from Kage
Em D/F G C* B7
He burned up the photos of Jables and Kage doing mushrooms
Em D/F G C* B7
"Fuck him, I don't need no Hollywood Jack anyway"
Em C D/F
So Hollywood Jack lived up high on a hill in a bubble
Em C D/F
And Rage Kage lived deep in the broiling valley below
Em C
Yes, the Rage Kage bubbled with rage
D/F
He looked at the ground
B7
And he looked on the stage
Em
The lava was throwing
C D/F B7
And boiling inside the old Kage
Em D/F G C* B7
As Hollywood Jack climbed the ladder of stardom before him
Em D/F G C* B7
He watched as his indie credentials flew right out the door
Em D/F G C* B7
He'd make millions and then he'd go out and he'd make even more millions
Em D/F G C* B7
He'd screen KG's calls and snort coke of the ass of a whore

Em
No one respected him
C
They just rejected him
G D/F
No one would represent Kage
Em C
Left on the streets of his dreams
D/F B7
he would cry, and he'd rage for the stage
Ahahaaa
FLUTE SOLO:
4x: Em C D/F B7
Em C D/F
Then Hollywood Jack got a message that Kage was in trouble
Em C D/F
They sent Kage away cause he had gone completely insane
Em C D/F
So Hollywood Jack jumped upon a jetplane and flew all that night through the rain
Em C D/F
To be with his friend to see what remained of his brain
Em D/F G C* B7
Then Hollywood Jack told the doctors: "You got to retrieve him!"
Em D/F G C* B7
You've got the technology, use the techniques of your trade
Em D/F G C* B7
He grabbed their lapels and he screamed "BY GOD YOU MUST SAVE HIM!"
Em D/F G C* B7
Because Rage Kage and I; can't you see that were one and the same!
Aaaah!
Em
RAGE KAGE!
C
OH RAGE KAGE!
G D/F
There'd be magic inside that old name
Em
And you know,
C
yes you know
G D/F
When you're going completely insane
Em
Oh Rage Kage!
C
Oh Rage Kage!
G D/F
Oh the lion will roar once again
Em
And you know
C
Yes you know
G B7
When you're going completely insane
Em D/F G C B7
Nothing and no one could harm the old Rage Kage again,
Em D/F G C B7
Nothing and no one could harm the old Rage Kage again,
Em D/F G C B7
Nothing and no one could harm the old Rage Kage again,
Em D/F G C B7
Nothing and no one could harm the old Rage Kage again,
Em D/F G C B7
Nothing and no one could harm the old Rage Kage again,
Em D/F G C B7
Hollywood Jack and the Rage Kage were out once again.
