 ONCE YOU'VE PLAYED THE INTRO, THEN JUMP STRAIGHT INTO VERSE 1
   x4
  High  above the mucky-muck, castle  made of stew
   There sits Wonderboy, sitting  oh so proudly
   not much to say  when you're high above the mucky-muck, yeah,  yeah
   Wonderboy,  what is the  secret  of your power?
   Wonderboy,  won't you take  me far away  from the mucky-muck man?
   x4
  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...
  With mind  bullets!  That's teleki  -  nesis, Kyle
   How 'bout the power,  to move you?
 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
 AS ABOVE)
 VERSES 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.)
 CHORDS AS VERSE 1)
 AS ABOVE)
  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!
 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.
