[Intro] Em7 Cadd9 D (x2)
Em7                   Cadd9                      D
This is the ballad of Hollywood Jack and the Rage Cage

Em7           Cadd9                                      D
Nothing could stop them when Jables and Rage hit the stage

Em7                        Cadd9                         D
And Hollywood Jack hit the big time and when to make movies

Em7                      Cadd9                      D
Rage Kage was left far behind in the dust of his dreams

Em7                D                   G         C           B7
And he grumbled and growled and watched Hollywood Jack on Jay Leno

Em7            D            G           C             B7
He bellowed and said he'd be nothing without help from Kage

Em7             D         G          C          B7
He burned up the photos of Jables and Kage doing mushrooms

Em7         D             G         C       B7
"Fuck him, I don't need no Hollywood jack anyway"

Em7                        Cadd9                   D
So Hollywood Jack lived up high on a hill in a bubble

Em7                             Cadd9                 D
And Rage Kage lived deep in the broiling valley below

         Em7      C
Yes, the rage Kage bubbled with rage

   D
He looked at the ground

       B7
And he looked on the stage

    Em7
The lava was throwing

    C                      D      B7
And boiling inside the old Kage

Em7         D                G         C         B7
As Hollywood Jack climbed the ladder of stardom before him

Em7              D        G             C             B7
He watched as his indie credentials flew right out the door

Em7                   D            G            C         B7
He'd make millions and then he'd go out and he'd make even more millions

Em7             D               G           C        B7
He'd screen KG's calls and snort coke of the ass of a whore

Em7
No one respected him

C
They just rejected him

G                      D
No one would represent Kage

Em7                       C
Left on the streets of his dreams

                       G            B7
he would cry, and he'd rage for the stage
Ahahaaa [Flute Solo] (x4) Em7 C D B7
     Em7                  Cadd9                    D
Then Hollywood Jack got a message that Kage was in trouble

     Em7                     Cadd9               D
They sent Kage away cause he had gone completely insane

   Em7                    Cadd9               D
So Hollywood Jack jumped upon a jetplane and flew all that night through the rain

   Em7                   Cadd9                        D
To be with his friend to see what remained of his brain

     Em7      D             G             C        B7
Then Hollywood Jack told the doctors: "You got to retrieve him!"

       Em*         D       G           C              B7
You've got the technology, use the techniques of your trade

   Em7            D           G            C            B7
He grabbed their lapels and he screamed "BY GOD YOU MUST SAVE HIM!"

        Em7          D            G             C           B7
Because Rage Kage and I; can't you see that were one and the same!
Aaaah!
Em7
RAGE KAGE!

C
OH RAGE KAGE!

           G                     D
There'd be magic inside that old name

        Em7
And you know,

        C
yes you know

            G                  D
When you're going completely insane

   Em
Oh Rage Kage!

   C
Oh Rage Kage!

       G                    D
Oh the lion will roar once again

        Em7
And you know

        C
Yes you know

            G                  B7
When you're going completely insane

Em7        D            G            C          B7
Nothing and no one could harm the old Rage Kage again,

Em7        D            G            C          B7
Nothing and no one could harm the old Rage Kage again,

Em7        D            G            C          B7
Nothing and no one could harm the old Rage Kage again,

Em7        D            G            C          B7
Nothing and no one could harm the old Rage Kage again,

Em7        D            G            C          B7
Nothing and no one could harm the old Rage Kage again,

Em7        D            G            C          B7
Hollywood Jack and the Rage Kage were out once again.
