Tuning: Standard Tabbed by: Zuka Hello. If you're wondering "what Tenacious D song is this?", you can find the song on the deluxe edition of the new album Rize of the Fenix. Alternatively, you can just search Youtube for a few early live performances and/or the studio version. It has some great harmonies worth listening to.

If you're listening to the song while reading this, it should be crystal clear. If none of that matters to you, continue on for simple chords.
