Explosivo   by Tenacious D  

notes: This song contains fairly easy chords, learning the rhythm is a bit tough but just listen and play along with it until you get it.  If you disagree with any of the lyrics then just change them yourself, this is the way it sounds to me.

Part I: This is pretty basic barre chord action.  Warning, your hand may start to hurt or cramp by the end of this song.

Lyrics with guitar:
 
Climb upon my faithful steed, then we gonna ride gonna smoke some weed.
Climb upon my big assed steed, and ride, ride, ride.
          	             	      
Heeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeee eeeeeee eeeeeeee eee
                                                 
What's the name of the song? Explosivo!
                                                 
Don't know what it's about but its good to go
                                                 
What's the name of my girlfriend? I don't know
                                                 
But she's built like the shit, and she's good to go 
                                        
go she's good to go, she's good to go

                                                                 
We are fueled by satan yes we're schooled by satan
                
Schooled by satan!, 
                                              
writin' those tasty riffs just as fast as can
             
Fueled by satan! 

Part II: This is a little different but not too difficult.  Its rhythmic so listen to the song for the rhythm.

We were the inventors of the cosmic astral code
 	 		                          
We've come to blow you away, we've come to blow your nose
 		                                            
We've come to fuckin' blow, we've come to blow the show.
 	 	                                 
We've come to fuckin' blow you know it you know it!

(Back to Part I)

          	             	      
Heeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeee eeeeeee eeeeeeee eee
                                                 
What's the name of the song? Explosivo!
                                                 
Don't know what it's about but its good to go

(back to part II): just play the chords and the words come in at varied times, the chords get progressively faster until its madness.

I am not one of you
i come from a distance time
I am known as the angel crrrrusher
These pics that I give you 
were molded in satan's cauldron.
Take these pics, they're souvenir satan pics.

Explosivo!
