Intro:
Am
This is the greatest and best song in the world...   Tribute.

Verse:
Am
Long time ago me and my brother Kyle here,
Am
We was hitchhikinʼ down a long and lonesome road.
Am
All of a sudden, there shined a shiny demon...
Am
In the middle of the road.
Am
And he said:

Am
"Play the best song in the world, or Iʼll eat your souls."

Am
Well me and Kyle, we looked at each other,
Am
And we each said...   "Okay"

Am                                 G
And we played the first thing that came to our heads,
F
Just so happened to be,
Am                   G             F
The Best Song in the World, it was The Best Song in the World.

Chorus:
D                          F
Look into my eyes and itʼs easy to see
        C                     G
One and one make two, two and one make three,
        F
It was destiny.
D                           F
Once every hundred-thousand years or so,
         C                      G
When the sun doth shine and the moon doth glow
         F
And the grass donʼt grow...

Verse:
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?"
Am
And we said, "Nay. We are but men!" ROCK!

D     F     C       G
Ahhh, ahhh, ahhh-ah-ah,
F
Ohhh, whoah, ah-whoah-oh!

Chorus:
Am               G                   Am
This is not The Greatest Song in the World.
Am                 G       Am
No, this is just a tribute.
Am                    G                    Am
Couldnʼt remember The Greatest Song in the World.
Am            G        Am
No, this is a tribute, oh.

Am G               D           F
   To The Greatest Song in the World, All right!
Am G                   D           F
   It was The Greatest Song in the World, All right!
Am         G
It was the best muthafuckinʼ song
D                        F
The greatest song in the world.

Bridge:
Am               G
And the peculiar thing is this my friends:
D                        F
The song we sang on that fateful night,
Am                       G                  D     F
It didnʼt actually sound anything like this song.

Verse:
               Am           G           D     F
This is just a tribute! You gottaʼ believe me!
                    Am      G                 D     F
And I wish you were there! Just a matter of opinion.
          Am        G
Ah, fuck! Good God, God lovinʼ,
D                    F
So surprised to find you canʼt stop it.
Am                   G
Oh hallelujah, Iʼm found
 D                   F
Rich motherfucker, ka-chug!
