Standard (EADGBE)

when the pick of destiny was released it was a bomb

and all the critics said that the D was done

the sun had set and the chapter had closed

 but one thing no one thought about was the D would rise again

 just like the phoenix, we'll fucking rise again

 that's right the phoenix, we'll rise again. yeaa

[verse 2 just like the intro]

Cause' the fiery heart of a champion cannot be quelched

By a failure or an embarrassment, no way, no

And the critics all agreed it was a stinky pile of cheese

 But that does not mean that our hearts are not strong

 just like the phoenix, we'll fucking rise again

 that's right the phoenix, we'll rise again. yeaa

Bridge

  Sun shining, it's a Hell of a day

Riding back and it's headed your way

  D's here, now we're putting on a show

We're sneaking up, climbing into your window

Bridge

  Out rocking, yea we're rocking again

Black Mamba is my personal friend

  Phil Jackson is the master of zen

We'll pick you up, take you out on the weekend

Chorus

It's the rise of the phoenix,

It's the call of attack

And you'll know when you've seen us

  The fucking D is back, ya'll!

Bridge

  Lovemaking all the way to the top

Boots smoking, but I'm not gonna stop

  Bossa Nova is a beautiful dance

Hot-blooded, that's a lots of romance

Chorus

It's the rise of the phoenix,

It's the call of attack

And you'll know when you've seen us

  The fucking D is back.

[play with the chords below to make it sound like the picking]

But what if it's true?

  If Tenacious D has died, what will we do?

And what will we do,

  About all the fans who have The D tattoo?

They'll have them removed,

  They'll have to laser off their D tattoos

Tattoos..

  They'll have to laser off their D tattoos
