TENACIOUS D - "tribute" Tablature
Official TENACIOUS D Tablature & Sheet Music »
Tenacious D
"Tribute"
"But he was forced to set us free by the honor code that demons have to live by"
I see the tab from the TV show version of this song up, but not the album version.
So here it is kiddies, enjoy indefinately.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Intro/Verse thing is based on an open Am chord.
Use that posish to finger this ugly but surprisingly simple tabbed lick.

We'll call this "Alick" for tabbing purposes
And here it goes:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alick
This is the greatest and best song in the world...Tribute.
Long time ago, me and my brother Kyle here,
We was hitchhiking down, a long and lonesome road.
All of a sudden, there shined a shiny demon,
In the middle of the road. AND HE SAID...
A5(power chord 5th fret, 6th string)
Play the best song in the world, or I'll eat your soul.
Alick
Well me and Kyle, we looked at each other,
And we each said...OKAY!
Am G F
And we played the first thing that came to our heads, just so happened to be,
Am G F
The best song in the world, it was the best song in the world.
D F
Look into my eyes and it's easy to see,
C G
One and one make two, two and one make three
F
It was destiny.
D F
Once every hundred thousand years or so,
C G
When the sun doth shine and the moon doth glow
F
And the grass doth grow.
Alick
Needless to say, the beast was stunned.
Whip crack with your swampy tail, and the beast was done.
He asked us, (SNORT), "Be you angels?"
And we said "NAY! We are but men."
ROCK!
D F C G
Ah, Ah, Ah ah ah ah ah,
F
Oh, ahwohohoiho, owhowayoiho
Am G Am
This is not, the greatest song in the world, no
G Am
This is just a tribute.
Am G Am
Couldn't remember, the greatest song in the world, no
G Am
No! This is a tribute, oh
Am G F
To the greatest song in the world, all right,
It was the greatest song in the world, all right,
It is just the best mother fuckin song, the greatest song in the world
(A Cappella Section)
Am G F
And the peculiar thing is this my friends,
The song we sang on that fateful night,
It didn't actually sound anything like this song!
This is just a tribute, you gotta believe me,
And I wish you were there, just a matter of opinion, ah fuck.
Good God, God loving, I'm so surprised to find you can’t stop him ah,
Up far, a really up far, A rich motherfucker give upachar.
E F
All right!
All right!

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official TENACIOUS D tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
