Period.") is an American satirical rock duo formed by musicians and actors Kyle Gass and Jack Black in Los Angeles, California in 1994.

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Notes: This song is a pain in my @55 because it has been hard for me to tab and figure out. So please be satisfied with this tabing. Some of the chords may not be ones that you are used to but if you listen to the song and play with it you will notice that it sounds right. Good luck.
Part 1: most of the strums are from the bottom up, listen to it for the strumming pattern. these chords are used throughout the whole song, and all the strumming is basically like this. I would suggest finger picking it, it sounds like kage does, but i dont remember if he does on the episode.
Lyrics with chords: Follow the above chord structure and strumming. (LEE) G Well me and kg yeah were going to sing a little song about a few special things special Em7Am7G things, talkin' special things. Like when a Em7Am7Em7Am7 G friend gives a friend a helping hand, helps his little buddy to understand, thats a thing,
a very special thing yeah. Take it JB ta take it. (JB) G I hate to interupt the thing that lee was singing about him and kg, special Em7Am7G thing, what do ya think this is, tenacious d 3d no no no noooo, like Em7Am7Em7Am7 when kg hits a tin cup shot, on a genesis golf "Tincup!" Thats a special G thing, its a special thing, or Em7Am7Em7Am7 G when KG pops in jenny craig, mac and chee and hands it to me, thats a special thing,
thats a special thing. (LEE) Em7Am7Em7Am7 (short, mute) Now one and one and one is three, a rare occasion for las triple D!!!! GEm7Am7 KG, JB, and me. KG, JB and me. KG, JB and meeeeeeeeeee. G(strum slow) Now thats un special thing.
the end: This song is not as difficult as i made it sound at first. Three chords repeated over and over. If you listen to the song when you play it then it makes sense, the tempo is slow so watch for that while you are playing. Questions or comments can be emailed to me: [email protected]. If you aren't on the tenacious d mailing list, you should be, that is where i send updates of new tabs that i make, otherwise you just have to keep the website.
Chords: Play the "G" chord with your bottom three fingers (middle, ring, and pinky) it makes it easier to hit the add on to the G (with your index finger). The other chord names may not be correct, but they are at least close, who cares if the name is right just play it the way i tabbed it.
