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.

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
