The Ballad Of Hollywood Jack And The Rage Kage by Tenacious D
Key:EmEm| Capo:0fr| |
Intro
Em* GD (x2)
Em* GD
This is the ballad of Hollywood Jack and the Rage Cage
Em* GD
Nothing could stop them when Jables and Rage hit the stage
Em* GD
And Hollywood Jack hit the big time and when to make movies
Em* GD
Rage Kage was left far behind in the dust of his dreams
Em* DGCB7
And he grumbled and growled and watched Hollywood Jack on Jay Leno
Em* DGCB7
He bellowed and said he'd be nothing without help from Kage
Em* DGCB7
He burned up the photos of Jables and Kage doing mushrooms
Em* DGCB7
"Fuck him, I don't need no Hollywood jack anyway"
Em* GD
So Hollywood Jack lived up high on a hill in a bubble
Em* GD
And Rage Kage lived deep in the broiling valley below
Em* G
Yes, the rage Kage bubbled with rage
D
He looked at the ground
B7
And he looked on the stage
Em*
The lava was throwing
GDB7
And boiling inside the old Kage
Em* DGCB7
As Hollywood Jack climbed the ladder of stardom before him
Em* DGCB7
He watched as his indie credentials flew right out the door
Em* DGCB7
He'd make millions and then he'd go out and he'd make even more millions
Em* DGCB7
He'd screen KG's calls and snort coke of the ass of a whore
Em*
No one respected him
C
They just rejected him
GD
No one would represent Kage
Em* C
Left on the streets of his dreams
GB7
he would cry, and he'd rage for the stage
Ahahaaa
[Flute Solo] (x4)
Em* CDB7
Em* GD
Then Hollywood Jack got a message that Kage was in trouble
Em* GD
They sent Kage away cause he had gone completely insane
Em* GD
So Hollywood Jack jumped upon a jetplane and flew all that night through the rain
Em* GD
To be with his friend to see what remained of his brain
Em* DGCB7
Then Hollywood Jack told the doctors: "You got to retrieve him!"
Em* DGCB7
You've got the technology, use the techniques of your trade
Em* DGCB7
He grabbed their lapels and he screamed "BY GOD YOU MUST SAVE HIM!"
Em* DGCB7
Because Rage Kage and I; can't you see that were one and the same!
Aaaah!
Em*
RAGE KAGE!
C
OH RAGE KAGE!
GD
There'd be magic inside that old name
Em*
And you know,
C
yes you know
GD
When you're going completely insane
Em*
Oh Rage Kage!
C
Oh Rage Kage!
GD
Oh the lion will roar once again
Em*
And you know
C
Yes you know
GB7
When you're going completely insane
Em* DGCB7
Nothing and no one could harm the old Rage Kage again,
Em* DGCB7
Nothing and no one could harm the old Rage Kage again,
Em* DGCB7
Nothing and no one could harm the old Rage Kage again,
Em* DGCB7
Nothing and no one could harm the old Rage Kage again,
Em* DGCB7
Nothing and no one could harm the old Rage Kage again,
Em* DGCB7
Hollywood Jack and the Rage Kage were out once again.
