        D5                                                 D/C#
   What powers do you ask? I dunno, how about the power of flight?

   Riggah-go-goo, riggah-goo-goo
    D5                 D/C#                  
 A secret to be told, a gold chest to be bold
      Bm                        Asus4     G  A     
And blasting forth in three-part harmony

[Verse 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!

                  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!
