• Song:

    Deth Starr

  • Artist:

    Tenacious D

NOTE: These aren't the official lyrics, this is just how I transcribed them. If you
could help in the comments on the ones I just didn't get (I labeled them), that would be of
great help.

A song of the NEW Tenacious D record, Rize of the Fenix, currently streaming at this
very moment at rizeofthefenix.com! However, I whole-heartedly suggest out of the goodness
of my heart that you buy this record when it is unleashed on May 15th, so you can 
support some REAL rock, and the 2 gods who rock your face until you have to drink through an IV,
Jables and Kage. D for life!

While most of the chords of this song are power chords, the intro/outro chords are very
jazzy. I'm not sure about the exact structure, but here's my best guess based on my ears:

E (022100@1)name="chord_x02220@1">A D (xx0232@1)name="chord_320003@1">G B (x2444x@1)name="chord_022100@1">E
