[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

The greatest
[D] song in the
[F] world.
