Deth Starr Chords

   
NOTE: These aren't the official lyrics, this is just how I transcribed them. If you
could help in the comments on the ones I just didn't get (I labeled them), that would be of
great help.

A song of the NEW Tenacious D record, Rize of the Fenix, currently streaming at this
very moment at rizeofthefenix.com! However, I whole-heartedly suggest out of the goodness
of my heart that you buy this record when it is unleashed on May 15th, so you can 
support some REAL rock, and the 2 gods who rock your face until you have to drink through an IV,
Jables and Kage. D for life!

While most of the chords of this song are power chords, the intro/outro chords are very
jazzy. I'm not sure about the exact structure, but here's my best guess based on my ears:

       E A D G B E
Emaj7: x-x-2-4-4-4--|
Gmaj7: x-10-9-7-7-7-|
Dmaj7: x-x-0-2-2-2--|
Cmaj7: x-3-2-0-0-0--|
Fmaj7: x-x-3-2-1-0--|
B7:    x-2-1-2-0-2--|
