Album Tenacious D
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?

Me! And KG! ("That's me"), we're now Tena - cious D!
Come fly with me, fly!

You take the high road, I'll take the low

There, the crevasse, fill it, with some mighty juice!
