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.

D = Down stroke
U = Up stroke

This is a method (hopefully not too dodgey) showing you the use of the open D
and G strings throughout the song, the note position, and the strumming
pattern. 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.


VERSE 1:

B5          F#5
Since the beginning of time
B5          F#5
There had to be a man with a plan
B5       F#5   B5    F#5
To push man, forward
B5                 F#5    B5             F#5
There was a caveman who, invented wheels
B5                    F#5            B5     F#5
And with those wheels he pushed man forward

G5                             F#5
Someone had to come up with a new concept for life
G5                             F#5
Had to push the mighty rock upon the mountain top


VERSE 2:

B5             F#5
Got to work it out
B5             F#5
Got to think outside the box
           B5                F#5
You got to think outside the bun
B5             F#5
If you want to be the magic one
G5        F#5
Who will lead the trail, blaze the rail
G5                                  F#5
Be the one that you will know must be

Genius

B5         F#5                   C#5              F#5
Everybody looks to the hero to lead the way, to change our way of life
B5          F#5                C#5         F#5
To show us something that is meaningful, yeah
B5                    F#5            C#5               F#5

Gotta shine it on something that is beautiful, yeah
G5                   F#5
With the bravery to see, a new form of arts
G5                F#5
A blazing of our consciousness, we're talking quantum leap

VERSE 3:
When you think outside the bun,
It's scary out there
There's also lots of stinky poo
But sometimes when you go outside of your comfort zone
You might find something brand new
To help the humans leap
Forward, do a simple leap
Never be they same, they leap
Across the fucking annals of time
Quantum...

CHORUS:
..leap, leap

Einstein, Shakespeare, Leonard Nimoy, Doctor Drew
Bell Biv DeVoe, Fran?ois Truffaut, Moses, Tenacious D

That's a list of the people who have made the quantum leap
It gets pretty scary out there because they got to know themselves, yeah
When you look at the people who have made the quantum leap
You feel like a turd cause you haven't accomplished anything yourselves, no
With the bravery to see, a new form of arts
A blazing of our consciousness, we're talking quantum leap

VERSE 4/OUTRO:
Leap...
Leap...
Leap...
Sleep
