Intro: Am C G x2

 Am                    C                      G
This is the ballad of Hollywood Jack and the Rage Cage
 Am            C                                      G
Nothing could stop them when Jables and Rage hit the stage
 Am                         C                         G
And Hollywood Jack hit the big time and when to make movies
 Am                       C                       G
Rage Kage was left far behind in the dust of his dreams

 Am                  G                   C         F           E7
And he grumbled and growled and watched Hollywood Jack on Jay Leno
 Am              G            C           F             E7
He bellowed and said heʼd be nothing without help from Kage
 Am               G         C          F          E7
He burned up the photos of Jables and Kage doing mushrooms
 Am            G             C         F       E7
"Fuck him, I donʼt need no Hollywood jack anyway"

 Am                         C                   G
So Hollywood Jack lived up high on a hill in a bubble
 Am                              C                 G
And Rage Kage lived deep in the broiling valley below

          Am        C
Yes, the rage Kage bubbled with rage
   G
He looked at the ground
       E7
And he looked on the stage
     Am
The lava was throwing
    C                      G      E7
And boiling inside the old Kage

 Am           G                C         F         E7
As Hollywood Jack climbed the ladder of stardom before him
 Am                G        C             F             E7
He watched as his indie credentials flew right out the door
 Am                     G            C            F         E7
Heʼd make millions and then heʼd go out and heʼd make even more
millions
 Am               G               C           F        E7
Heʼd screen KGʼs calls and snort coke of the ass of a whore

 Am
No one respected him
 F
They just rejected him
 C                      G
No one would represent Kage
 Am                         F
Left on the streets of his dreams
                       C            E7
he would cry, and heʼd rage for the stage
Ahahaaa

Am F G E7 x4

      Am                   C                        G
Then Hollywood Jack got a message that Kage was in trouble
      Am                      C                     G
They sent Kage away cause he had gone completely insane
    Am                     C                  G
So Hollywood Jack jumped upon a jetplane and flew all
that night through the rain
    Am                    C                        G
To be with his friend to see what remained of his brain
      Am        G             C             F        E7
Then Hollywood Jack told the doctors: "You got to retrieve him!"
        Am          G       C           F              E7
Youʼve got the technology, use the techniques of your trade
    Am              G           C            F            E7
He grabbed their lapels and he screamed "BY GOD YOU MUST SAVE HIM!"
         Am            G            C             F           E7
Because Rage Kage and I; canʼt you see that were one and the same!
Aaaah!

 Am
RAGE KAGE!
 F
OH RAGE KAGE!
           C                     G
Thereʼd be magic inside that old name
         Am
And you know,
        F
yes you know
            C                  G
When youʼre going completely insane

    Am
Oh Rage Kage!
   F
Oh Rage Kage!
       C                    G
Oh the lion will roar once again

         Am
And you know
        F
Yes you know
            C                  E7
When youʼre going completely insane

 Am          G            C            F          E7
Nothing and no one could harm the old Rage Kage again,
 Am          G            C            F          E7
Nothing and no one could harm the old Rage Kage again,
 Am          G            C            F          E7
Nothing and no one could harm the old Rage Kage again,
 Am          G            C            F          E7
Nothing and no one could harm the old Rage Kage again,
 Am          G            C            F          E7
Nothing and no one could harm the old Rage Kage again,
 Am          G            C            F          E7
Hollywood Jack and the Rage Kage were out once again.
