Wonderboy  by Tenacious D
Transcribed lyrics and guitar by JohnnyWu2?

Notes: This song was tabbed from a live version of Wonderboy (there is no version that isnt live), it was one of their earlier performances, it had jesus christ superstar and flash right before it, wonderboy comes in at about 4:02 into the song.  So if the words or somthing are different then make sure you are listening to the same mp3.
Part I: This is the opening riff, the same chords are strummed for the main verse.  Hold the chord but pick the parts like the tab shows you, in other words change to a Dm to make it easier and make you ready for the pull offs.

b-------3------------3----2------------3----------3----------

then (this is tricky; numbers on top= finger numbers; 1=index (pointer) 2=mid; Use those or whatever works)

D						        Dm
Well now its time for me to tell you about young nasty man
            D				 	    Dm
who is the archrival and nemesis of wonderboy
    D			Dm
with powers comparable to wonderboy!
D                                            D/C
What powers, you may ask?
			     D/B
How about the power of flight?
			        D/A					      D/G
And what that is specifically is levitation, with powers to move inside the sun,
			          D/F#
and forwards, and up, backwards
				  E
How about the power of telekenesis?
			     F                   F#                   G    G#
Has anyone seen it in action? I doubt it, i severly doubt it, rare...
				A
How about the power to move you?

(applause then back to part I)

D	          Dm                                     D	        Dm
The history of wonderboy and young nastyman, rigga goo goo rigga goo goo
D		              D/C		        D/B				D/A    Bb  C   D
the secret to be told, and a gold chest to be bold, blasting forth with three part harmony yeah!!!
D					   Dm
Well wonderboy and young nastyman joined forces,
		D
and they formed a band the likes of which had never been seen.
Dm						D           D/C       D/B   D/A  Bb    C-C  D-D-D
And they called themselves Tenacious D, thats right me, and KG, and me , Tenacious Deeeeeee.
