Intro:
2x: Am* F G

Am*                   F                      G
This is the ballad of Hollywood Jack and the Rage Cage
Am*           F                                      G
Nothing could stop them when Jables and Rage hit the stage
Am*                        F                         G
And Hollywood Jack hit the big time and when to make movies
Am*                      F                       G
Rage Kage was left far behind in the dust of his dreams

Am*                 G                   F         F           E7
And he grumbled and growled and watched Hollywood Jack on Jay Leno
Am*             G            F           F             E7
He bellowed and said he'd be nothing without help from Kage
Am*              G         F          F          E7
He burned up the photos of Jables and Kage doing mushrooms
Am*          G             F         F       E7
"f**k him, I don't need no Hollywood jack anyway"

Am*                        F                   G
So Hollywood Jack lived up high on a hill in a bubble
Am*                             F                 G
And Rage Kage lived deep in the broiling valley below

         Am*       F
Yes, the rage Kage bubbled with rage
   G
He looked at the ground
       E7
And he looked on the stage
    Am*
The lava was throwing
    F                      G      E7
And boiling inside the old Kage

Am*          G                F         F         E7
As Hollywood Jack climbed the ladder of stardom before him
Am*               G        F             F             E7
He watched as his indie credentials flew right out the door
Am*                    G            F            F         E7
He'd make millions and then he'd go out and he'd make even more millions
Am*              G               F           F        E7
He'd screen KG's calls and snort coke of the ass of a whore

Am*
No one respected him
F
They just rejected him
F                      G
No one would represent Kage
Am*                        F
Left on the streets of his dreams
                       F            E7
he would cry, and he'd rage for the stage
Ahahaaa


Epic flute solo:
4x: Am* F G
    E7

     Am*                  F                        G
Then Hollywood Jack got a message that Kage was in trouble
     Am*                     F                     G
They sent Kage away cause he had gone completely insane
   Am*                    F                  G
So Hollywood Jack jumped upon a jetplane and flew all that night through the rain
   Am*                   F                        G
To be with his friend to see what remained of his brain
     Am*       G             F             F        E7
Then Hollywood Jack told the doctors: "You got to retrieve him!"
       Am*         G       F           F              E7
You've got the technology, use the techniques of your trade
   Am*             G           F            F            E7
He grabbed their lapels and he screamed "BY GOD YOU MUST SAVE HIM!"
        Am*           G            F             F           E7
Because Rage Kage and I; can't you see that were one and the same!

Aaaah!

Am*
RAGE KAGE!
F
OH RAGE KAGE!
           F                     G
There'd be magic inside that old name
        Am*
And you know,
        F
yes you know
            F                  G
When you're going completely insane

   Am*
Oh Rage Kage!
   F
Oh Rage Kage!
       F                    G
Oh the lion will roar once again

        Am*
And you know
        F
Yes you know
            F                  E7
When you're going completely insane

Am*         G            F            F          E7
Nothing and no one could harm the old Rage Kage again,
Am*         G            F            F          E7
Nothing and no one could harm the old Rage Kage again,
Am*         G            F            F          E7
Nothing and no one could harm the old Rage Kage again,
Am*         G            F            F          E7
Nothing and no one could harm the old Rage Kage again,
Am*         G            F            F          E7
Nothing and no one could harm the old Rage Kage again,
Am*         G            F            F          E7
Hollywood Jack and the Rage Kage were out once again.
