Track Wonderboy
Tuning D# G# C# F# A# D# (one step down from standard, but you can play in
standard if you want)
This tab is copied from a magazine and is 100% perfect. The song is fun to play,
and is pretty easy except for THAT solo. I'm gonna type up the solo from the
magazine as well, but it's too long and I can't be arsed, so maybe another time, eh?

ONCE YOU'VE PLAYED THE INTRO, THEN JUMP STRAIGHT INTO VERSE 1
INTRO
D Bb/D x4
VERSE 1
[D]High above the mucky-muck, [Bb/D]castle made of stew
[D] There sits Wonderboy, [Bb/D]sitting oh so proudly
[D5] not much to say[D/C#] when you're high above the [Bm]mucky-muck, [Asus4]yeah, [G] y[A]eah
CHORUS
[D] Wonde[Bb/D]rboy, [D] what is the[Bb/D] secret of your power?
[D5] Wonder[D/C#]boy, won't you [Bm]take me far [Asus4]away from the [G]mucky-[A]muck [D]man?
BRIDGE
D Bb/D x4
VERSE 2
[D]Now it's time for me to tell you about Young Nasty[Bb/D]man
Arch rival and nemesis of Wo[D]nderboy, with powers comparable to [Bb/D]Wonderboy
What [D5]powers do you ask? I dunno, how about the power of [D/C#]flight?
That do anything for ya? [Bm] That's levitation, Holmes[Asus4]
How 'bout the power to kill a ya[G]k from 200 yards away...[D/F#]
Em A7 Aadd11/A A7(v2) Dadd11/A(v2)
With mind bullets! That's teleki - nesis, Kyle
G/A A7(v3)
How 'bout the power, to move you?
VERSE 3 (CHORDS AS VERSE 1)
History of Wonderboy, and Young NastyMan
Riggah-go-goo, riggah-goo-goo
A secret to be told, a gold chest to be bold
And blasting forth in three-part harmony
CHORUS (AS ABOVE)
BRIDGE
VERSES 4
Well, [D]Wonderboy and Young Nastyman joined forces;
[Bb/D]they formed a band the likes of which had never [D]been seen,
And they called themselves T[Bb/D]enacious D. That's right,
[D5]Me! And KG! (&qu[D/C#]ot;That's m[Bm]e"), [Asus4]we're n[G]ow T[A]ena - [C] ci[G]ous[D] D!
Come fly with me, fly!
(These chords can be pretty hard at first if you can't remember them.
Print out the guitar chord chart seperately.)
SOLO (CHORDS AS VERSE 1)
CHORUS (AS ABOVE)
OUTRO
[D]Oh! [Bb/D]Take my hand! Young [D]Nasty Man, and we'll [Bb/D]fly!
Bring out your [D]broadsword, there's the [Bb/D]hydra
Slice his [D]throat, and grab his [Bb/D]scrote
You take the [D]high road, I'll take the [Bb/D]low
[D]There, the crevasse, fill [Bb/D]it, with some mighty ju[D]ice!
That's all there is. The solo is too hard for me to write up at the moment.
I'm tired. I'll give it a shot another time.
