Chords
This is a modified version of DeX3's chord write up. 95% of
the work is his, I just tweaked a couple of chords and added
a walkdown which sounds closer to the real thing to my ear.

INTRO:
2x: Em C D/F
Em C D/F This is the ballad of Hollywood Jack and the Rage Cage Em C D/F Nothing could stop them when Jables and Rage hit the stage Em C D/F And Hollywood Jack hit the big time and when to make movies Em C D/F Rage Kage was left far behind in the dust of his dreams Em D/F G C* B7 And he grumbled and growled and watched Hollywood Jack on Jay Leno Em D/F G C* B7 He bellowed and said he'd be nothing without help from Kage Em D/F G C* B7 He burned up the photos of Jables and Kage doing mushrooms Em D/F G C* B7 "Fuck him, I don't need no Hollywood Jack anyway" Em C D/F So Hollywood Jack lived up high on a hill in a bubble Em C D/F And Rage Kage lived deep in the broiling valley below Em C Yes, the Rage Kage bubbled with rage D/F He looked at the ground B7 And he looked on the stage Em The lava was flowing C D/F B7 And boiling inside the old Kage Em D/F G C* B7 As Hollywood Jack climbed the ladder of stardom before him Em D/F G C* B7 He watched as his indie credentials flew right out the door Em D/F G C* B7 He'd make millions and then he'd go out and he'd make even more millions Em D/F G C* B7 He'd screen KG's calls and snort coke of the ass of a whore Em No one respected him C They just rejected him G D/F No one would represent Kage Em C Left on the streets of his dreams G B7 he would cry, and he'd rage for the stage
Ahahaaa
FLUTE SOLO:
4x: Em C D/F (add B7 to end solo)
Em C D/F Then Hollywood Jack got a message that Kage was in trouble Em C D/F They sent Kage away cause he had gone completely insane Em C D/F So Hollywood Jack jumped upon a jetplane and flew all that night through the rain Em C D/F To be with his friend to see what remained of his brain Em D/F G C* B7 Then Hollywood Jack told the doctors: "You got to retrieve him!" Em D/F G C* B7 You've got the technology, use the techniques of your trade Em D/F G C* B7 He grabbed their lapels and he screamed "BY GOD YOU MUST SAVE HIM!" Em D/F G C* B7 Because Rage Kage and I; can't you see that were one and the same!
Aaaah!
Em RAGE KAGE! C OH RAGE KAGE! G D/F There'd be magic inside that old name Em And you know, C yes you know G B7 When you're going completely insane Em Oh the Rage Kage! C Oh the Rage Kage! G D/F Oh the lion will roar once again Em And you know C Yes you know G B7 When you're going completely insane Em D/F G C B7 Nothing and no one could harm the old Rage Kage again, Em D/F G C B7 Nothing and no one could harm the old Rage Kage again, Em D/F G C B7 Nothing and no one could harm the old Rage Kage again, Em D/F G C B7 Nothing and no one could harm the old Rage Kage again, Em D/F G C B7 Nothing and no one could harm the old Rage Kage again, Em D/F G C B7 Hollywood Jack and the Rage Kage were out once again...
