Long time ago me and my brother Kyle here,
G|-----------------0h2---------------------------------|
D|-------------0h2-------------------------------------|
A|----0-0-0-0------------------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------------------------|

We were hitchhiking down a long and lonesome road.
G|-----------------0h2---------------------------------|
D|-------------0h2-------------------------------------|
A|----0-0-0-0------------------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------------------------|

All of a sudden, there shined a shiny demon...
G|-----------------0h2---------------------------------|
D|-------------0h2-------------------------------------|
A|----0-0-0-0------------------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------------------------|

In the middle of the road.
G|-----------------0h2---------------------------------|
D|-------------0h2-------------------------------------|
A|----0-0-0-0------------------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------------------------|

And he said:

?Play the best song in the world, or I'll eat your souls."
G|------------------------------------------------------|
D|------------------------------------------------------|
A|----0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-00-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0----|
E|------------------------------------------------------|


Well me and Kyle well me we looked at each other,
G|-----------------0h2---------------------------------|
D|-------------0h2-------------------------------------|
A|----0-0-0-0------------------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------------------------|

And we each said...   "Okay"


And we played the first thing that came to our heads,
G|----------------------------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------------------------|
A|----0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-----------------------|
E|--------------------------------3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-|

Just so happened to be,
G|------------------------------------------------------|
D|------------------------------------------------------|
A|------------------------------------------------------|
E|-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1----------------------------------|

The Best Song in the World,

D|----------------------------------------------------|
A|----0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-----------------------|
E|--------------------------------3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-|

It was The Best Song in the World.
G|------------------------------------------------------|

A|------------------------------------------------------|
E|-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1----------------------------------|


Look into my eyes and it's easy to see
G|-----------------------------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------------------------|
A|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5----8-8-8-8-8--8-8-8-------------------|
E|-----------------------------------------------------|

One and one make two, two and one make three,

D|-----------------------------------------------------|
A|--3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3----------------------------------|
E|-----------------------3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3---------------|

It was destiny.

Once every hundred-thousand years or so,
G|-----------------------------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------------------------|
A|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5----8-8-8-8-8--8-8-8-------------------|
E|-----------------------------------------------------|

When the sun doth shine and the moon doth glow

D|-----------------------------------------------------|
A|--3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3----------------------------------|
E|-----------------------3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3---------------|

And the grass don't grow...

D|----------------------------------------------------|
A|----------------------------------------------------|
E|-1-1-1-1--------------------------------------------|


Needless to say, the beast was stunned.
G|-----------------0h2---------------------------------|
D|-------------0h2-------------------------------------|
A|----0-0-0-0------------------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------------------------|

Whip-crack went his schwumpy tail,
G|-----------------0h2---------------------------------|
D|-------------0h2-------------------------------------|
A|----0-0-0-0------------------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------------------------|

And the beast was done.
G|-----------------0h2---------------------------------|
D|-------------0h2-------------------------------------|
A|----0-0-0-0------------------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------------------------|

He asked us: "Be you angels?"
G|-----------------0h2---------------------------------|
D|-------------0h2-------------------------------------|
A|----0-0-0-0------------------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------------------------|

And we said, "Nay. We are but men!"
G|-----------------0h2---------------------------------|
D|-------------0h2-------------------------------------|
A|----0-0-0-0------------------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------------------------|

And the peculiar thing is this my friends:
G|-----------------------------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------------------------|
A|0-0-0-0----------------------------------------------|
E|----------3-3-3-3------------------------------------|

The song we sang on that fateful night,

G|-----------------------------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------------------------|
A|-5-5-5-5---------------------------------------------|
E|-----------1-1-1-1-----------------------------------|

It didn't actually sound anything like this song.
