[Am] This is the greatest and best song in the world... Tribute.
[Verse 1] (no drums)
[Am] Long time ago me and my brother Kyle here, (riff)
[Am] We was hitchhikin' down a long and lonesome road. (riff)
[Am] All of a sudden, there shined a shiny demon... (riff)
[Am] In the middle of the road. .... And he said:
(strum palm muted)
[A5] "Plaaay the best song in the world, or I'll eat your souls."
(back to normal picking)
[Am] Well me and Kyle, we looked at each other,
[Am] And we each said... "Okay"
[Am] And we played the first thing that [G] came to our heads,
[F] Just so happened to be,
[Am] The Best Song in the [G] World, it was [F] The Best Song in the World.
[Chorus 1] (Drums in)
[D] Look into my eyes and it's [F] easy to see .. One and
[C] one make two, two and [G] one make three, It was (drop snare)
[F] destiny. (snare pick up)
[D] Once every hundred-thousand [F] years or so, When the
[C] sun doth shine and the [G] moon doth glow And the
[F] grass don't grow...
[Verse 2] (drums just bass drum)
[Am] Needless to say, the beast was stunned.
[Am] Whip-crack went his schwumpy tail,
[Am] And the beast was done.
[Am] He asked us: "Be you angels?" (prep for high A to be sung)
[Am] And we said, "Nay. We are but men!" ROCK!
[Interlude] (full drums)
[D] Ahhh, [F] ahhh, [C] ahhh-ah- [G] ah,
[F] Ohhh, whoah,
[F] ah-whoah-oh!
[F] ah-whoah-oh!
[Chorus 2]
[Am] This is not [Am] The [G] Greatest Song in the [Am] World. (riff)
[Am] No, [Am] this is just a [G] tribute. [Am]
[Am] Couldn't remember [Am] The [G] Greatest Song in the [Am] World. (riff)
[Am] No, [Am] this is a [G] tribute, [Am] oh. (vocals allude to Amaj interesting)
[Am] [G] To The Greatest [D] Song in the [F] World, All right!
[Am] [G] It was The Greatest [D] Song in the [F] World, All right!
[Am] It was the best mutha [G] fuckin' song
The greatest [D] song in the [F] world.
