Chorus 1: (with Riffs)
(n.C) Am* G
'Cos it's the Pick Of Destiny, child,
You Fmaj7know it will be rocking 'cos it's Gfuckin' insane.
Am* G
'Cos it's the Pick Of Destiny,
More Fmaj7precious than a diamond on a Gplatinum chain.
Verse 1:
Am* G
In Venice Beach there was a man named Kage,
FWhen he was busking he was Gall of the rage.
Am* G
He met Jables and he taught him well;
FAll the techniques that were de-Gveloped in Hell.
Am* G
Cock push-ups and the power slide,
FGig simulation now there's Gnowhere to hide.
Am* G
They formed a band they named Tenacious D,
FAnd then they got the Pick Of GDestiny.
Chorus 2: (with Riffs)
Am* G
'Cos it's the Pick Of Destiny, child,
You Fmaj7know it will be rocking 'cos it's Gfuckin' insane.
Am* G
'Cos it's the Pick Of Destiny, child,
Our Fmaj7tasty moves are better than a Gchicken Chow Mien.
Bridge 1:
'Cos Fmaj7he who is sleazy, is Geasy to please-y,
And Fmaj7she who is juicy, must Gbe Loose-y Goose-y
Fmaj7 G Am G F Am, E7
And he who is groovy, will be in my movie, so come on.
Break:
The Dmwizard and the demon had a Battle Royale,
The Amdemon almost killed him with an evil ka-pow.
C G(n.C)
But then he broke his tooth and thus the Demon said 'ow'!
Chorus 3:
Am* G
'Cos it's the Pick Of Destiny, child,
You Fmaj7know it will be rocking 'cos it's Gfuckin' insane.
Am* G
'Cos it's the Pick Of Destiny, child,
You Fmaj7know our Boogie's better than-a GCitizen Kane.
Bridge 2:
'Cos Fmaj7he who's a geezer, must Glive in my freezer,
And Fmaj7she who is Snarky, is Gfull of malarkey.
And Fmaj7he who is groovy, will Gbe in my movie, so come on.
