Artist Tenacious D
Album Tenacious D
Track Wonderboy
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?

What powers do you ask? I dunno, how about the power of flight?
Bm Asus4
That do anything for ya? That's levitation, Holmes
G D/F#
How 'bout the power to kill a yak from 200 yards away...

Riggah-go-goo, riggah-goo-goo
A secret to be told, a gold chest to be bold
And blasting forth in three-part harmony

BRIDGE
VERSES 4
D
Well, Wonderboy and Young Nastyman joined forces;
Bb/D D
they formed a band the likes of which had never been seen,
Bb/D
And they called themselves Tenacious D. That's right,
D5 D/C# Bm Asus4 G A C G D
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
D Bb/D D Bb/D
Oh! Take my hand! Young Nasty Man, and we'll fly!
D Bb/D
Bring out your broadsword, there's the hydra
D Bb/D
Slice his throat, and grab his scrote
D Bb/D
You take the high road, I'll take the low
D Bb/D D
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.
