Verse ( Am throughout the whole verse ) Am This is the greatest and best song in the world... Tribute. Long time ago me and my brother Kyle here, We was hitchhikin' down a long and lonesome road. All of a sudden, there shined a shiny demon... In the middle of the road. And he said: Am ( Palm-Muted ) "Play the best song in the world, or I'll eat your souls." Am Well me and Kyle, we looked at each other, 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. D F Look into my eyes and it's 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 don't grow... ( This verse is also Am played continually ) Am Needless to say, the beast was stunned. Whip-crack went his schwumpy tail And the beast was done. He asked us: "Be you angels?" And we said, "Nay. We are but men!" ROCK! D F C G Ahhh, ahhh, ahhh-ah-ah, F Ohhh, whoah, ah-whoah-oh! Am G F This is not The Greatest Song in the World. Am G F No, this is just a tribute. Am G F Couldn't remember The Greatest Song in the World. Am G F Am No, this is a tribute, oh. G D F Am To The Greatest Song in the World, All right! G D F Am It was The Greatest Song in the World, All right! G It was the best muthafuckin' song D F The greatest song in the world. Am G D Ti Tuga digga tu Gi Friba fligugigu Uh Fligugigu Uh Di Ei Friba Du Gi Fligu F Am fligugigugi Flilibili Ah Fligu wene mamamana Sacrebleu! G D F Am G D F Am G And the peculiar thing is this my friends: D F The song we sang on that fateful night, Am G D It didn't actually sound anything like this song. F Am G D This is just a tribute! You gotta' believe me! F Am G D F And I wish you were there! Just a matter of opinion. Am G Ah, xxxx! Good God, God lovin', D F So surprised to find you can't stop it. Am I'm on fire G D F O hallelujah I'm found! Rich xxxxxxxxxxxx compadre, yeah E F G E F E F All right! All right! Am Big thanks to UkeFluke for providing this tab!

6 ukulele chords used in "Tribute" by Tenacious D: Am, C, D, E, F and G
this is not the greatest tab in the world, this is just a tribute.
This is what I came up with. I don’t know why, but it seems to work with Tribute in Am or Em `\_o_/`
I would welcome corrections/suggestions for improvement!

Great tab, if you want to play the hammer-on’s for the bits where Am is played continuously I think they are first on the C string 2-h4 then on the G string 0-h2
😶 my honest reaction to the post below
the repeated riff throughout the song can be played like this:
– – – – – – – 0 – -2 – –
– – – 0 – – – – – 0 – –
– 2 – – – – – – – 0 – –
– – – – 0 – – – – 0 – –
Does anyone have the strum pattern for this?
Rythm ?
Does anyone know how to play the little trill they play during the Am bits
