	        C       F            C              G
	Make it one for Saiyuki, the Shonen Journey West,
	        C                             G
	Make it one for the girl who once was his,
	        C           F             C                G
	Make it one for the kappa man selfconscious of red hair
	    C        F       C G       C  G    C
	And don't forget Son Goku and Sanzo's glare.

   C                F           C                     G
As Cho Gonou, there lived a man away from the demon's roar,
   C      G           C     F        C         G         C
Of manner calm, his beloved Kanan no man could ever love more,
        C             F                C                G
But one day out while grocery shopping demons stole his wife,
      C        G        C           F      C          G      C
So he left his town and found their castle armed with just a knife.

    C            F              C                 G
His wife decided for reasons to off herself right then,
    C    G        C    F    C         G      C
And Chin Yisou in mockery regaled him with legend:
 C                 F              C                 G
"With the blood of thousand of us you will join our kind,
    C            G             C      F      C       G        C
And since you're here and have made a mess I bet you will not mind."

	        C       F            C              G
	Make it one for Saiyuki, the Shonen Journey West,
	        C                             G
	Make it one for the girl who once was his,
	        C           F             C                G
	Make it one for the kappa man selfconscious of red hair
	    C        F       C G       C  G    C
	And don't forget Son Goku and Sanzo's glare.

      C              F                  C           G
While on the road to Shangri-La, if you happen on a Jeep,
         C        G      C            F       C      G       C
With the wrong number of grille slots who's a dragon when he sleeps,
   C                F                C              G
Be nice, polite and maybe feed their Goku something nice,
      C      G      C     F         C          G         C
Their gentle driver has a past that might make you think twice.

    C                 F               C                   G
For after Prince Chin Yisou's foolish choice to test that tale,
    C       G      C       F        C        G      C
And staying at Sha Gojyo's house to heal and handle bail,
     C              F                    C                  G
He's got a bunch of jacked up powers and a cool name change too,
    C      G        C   F       C         G        C
Cho Hakkai with out limiters is proof the legend's true.

	        C       F            C              G
	Make it one for Saiyuki, the Shonen Journey West,
	        C                             G
	Make it one for the girl who once was his,
	        C           F             C                G
	Make it one for the kappa man selfconscious of red hair
	    C        F       C G       C  G    C
	And don't forget Son Goku and Sanzo's glare.

	            C       F            C                  G
	Yes this is one for Saiyuki, now crossed with Brandywine,
	             C                            G
	They're both tales of men who started out kind
	           C            F         C                  G
	Lost their wives to the enemy and went wild fighting back,
	  C      F       C G          C    G C
	Becoming valiant legends when they attacked.
