[Intro]

D5*  G5*  A*


[Verse 1]

    D5
The best ever death metal band out of Denton
       G5*                  A*
were a couple of guys who'd been friends since grade school.
D5
One was named Cyrus, and the other was Jeff
         G5*                              A*
and they practiced twice a week in Jeff's bedroom.


[Verse 2]

    D5
The best ever death metal band out of Denton
G5*                     A*
     never settled on a name.
        D5
But the top three contenders after weeks of debate
             G5*              A*                        D5*     G5*  A*
were Satan's Fingers, and The Killers, and The Hospital Bombers.


[Verse 3]

         D5
Jeff and Cyrus believed in their hearts they were headed
    G5*                        A*
for stage lights and Learjets, fortune and fame.
      D5
So in script that made prominent use of a pentagram
     G5*                              A*
they stenciled their drumheads and guitars with their names.



[Bridge]

G                      A
This was how Cyrus got sent to the school
           D5                      G
where they told him he'd never be famous.
    G
And this was why Jeff,
       A                           D5
in the letters he'd write to his friend,
                 G
helped develop a plan to get even.


[Verse 4]

         D5
When you punish a person for dreaming their dreams,
        G5*                      A*
don't expect them to thank or forgive you.
    D5
The best ever death metal band out of Denton
        G5*                      A*
will in time both outpace and outlive you.


[Outro verse with riff]

     D5*         G5*     A*
Hail Satan! Hail Satan tonight!

     D5*          G5*    A*    D  D  D
Hail Satan! Hail, hail!
