Eskimo chords by Corky And The Juice Pigs

Chords with lyrics

I can't believe that, with all the versions here at UG, nobody has posted an
accurate chord chart for this tune. In particular, check the bridge progression
and lyrics below ("we both like *flowers*"!?! are you kidding me!?!).

The Tenacious D MajorD cover or the live version might vary, but this is exactly what
appears on the group's 1993 CD.
