Band: Reel Big Fish Album: Keep Your Reciept (1996) Written by my hero, Aaron Barrett Transcribed by Luke Knox ([email protected]) This is an awesome song by my favorite band, Reel Big Fish. If you're confused and bewildered by the song title, that's probably because you don't have Keep Your Reciept, a 5-song album released before Turn the Radio Off. I suggest you buy KYR, it has a great version of Unity (by OpIvy!) on it. Anyway, here it is:

Intro: (quiet)
E--2-2------0---2---3--3--------------
B--3---3----2---3---3----3------------
G--2-----2--2---4---4------4----------
D--0--------2---4---5--------4-4-2----  (Played 3x)
A----------------------------------4--
E-------------------------------------
   D        A   Bm  G

1 2 3 4 1 2 3 Go!

E-----------------------------
B-----------------------------
G--7--------------------------
D--7----7----9----5--4-4-2-0--
A--5----7----9----5-----------
E-------5----7----3-----------

   D    A    B    G 
This is played 4x.  The 4th time, play this riff instead of the one above:
E--3-2---3-2-------
B------3-----3-3r--
G------------------
D------------------

(Note: This riff: D--4-4-2-0- is played many times during the song, and is called simply "riff" in my transcription.) Verse:(all barre chords, and played fast. Listen to CD for rythym.) D A F# G There's a (little girl) on my mind. (Little girl) all the time. (Little girl) there's always one. (Little girl) look what she's done. G C B (Heavy Palm mute) She drags a tear from my eye. G C B (Palm mute) You know I sure hate to lie. G A D A Why can't you stay here, you know it's so beautiful, G A D D D (riff) and how come all girls think they're fat? Chorus: D D A B G (riff) Hey Hey Hey She's so pretty. D D A B G (riff) Hey Hey Hey My friend. D D A B G (riff) D D B A G Hey Hey Hey I feel stupid. Again. (Back to: D A F# G) (She said) it's all right. (She said) come over tonight. (She said) my mom's not home. (She said) I'm all alone. G C B (palm mute) She took me back to her house. G C B (pm) She pushed me down on the couch. G A D A She said it's all right, we're gonna be good friends, G A D D D (riff) cause the kissing only leads to the end. (Repeat chorus) Over bass solo: D A F# G Guitar Solo: (*the low part is played on a second guitar)

E---------7s5----10-12-10--14-15-14--19-17--
B-8-7---------10----------------------------
G-----9-7-----------------------------------
D-------------------------------------------
A-------------------------------------------

E----------------------------------------3-2-0---

G-------------------9-7r----------0---0-2---------
D---------------------------4-2-4---4-------------
A-*5----------5----------------------------------
E----5-2-2-3b---5-2-2-3b-------------------------

Then play chorus 2x, and that's it! I hope this sounds good to you. Let me know of any other ways of playing this song, especially the solo. Luke
