Wonderboy Tenacious D
Wonderboy by Tenacious D
Transcribed lyrics and guitar by JohnnyWu2©
Notes: This song was tabbed from a live version of Wonderboy (there is no version that isnt live), it was one of their earlier performances, it had jesus christ superstar and flash right before it, wonderboy comes in at about 4:02 into the song. So if the words or somthing are different then make sure you are listening to the same mp3.
Part I: This is the opening riff, the same chords are strummed for the main verse. Hold the chord but pick the parts like the tab shows you, in other words change to a Dm to make it easier and make you ready for the pull offs.

How about the power of flight[D/B]?
And what that is specifically is[D/A] levitation, with powers to move inside the su[D/G]n,
and forwards, and up, backwards[D/F#]
How about the power of telekenesis[E]?
Has anyone seen it in action?[F] I doubt it, i sever[F#]ly doubt it, rare...[G] [G#]
How about the power to move you?[A]
