It's Not Easy - Reel Big Fish Feat. Rachel Minton of Zolof The Rock and Roll Destroyer
(Originally from the film 'Pete's Dragon'; Composed by Al Kasha and Joel Hirschhorn)
Now please remember, this is my first ever tab.
I've also transcribed this based on the orginal-
the one from Pete's Dragon - which happens to be
a lot slower, and a bit more cuddly - because that's
the only one I've been able to find any sheet music
to base it on. This is not a direct copy of the original,
I've changed it a little to match with the RBF/Zolof version.
Basically, just play the chords with a ska-rhythm;
that's the only difference. Also, remember this is my
very first ever tab and therefore I don't exactly know
the correct formatting of a tab - that's why I've just
done the chords. I'm an awful guitarist, and I can't
even play some of these chords - only one or two of them,
that is, but if they sound dodgy, I've kept those ones the
same as the original. (For what it's worth, I may as well tell
you I am left handed and play a right-handed guitar upside-down.)
Enjoy!

And it's so easy.
(Verse 2)
You say the head of a camel
The neck of a crocodile
And the ears of a cow!
It's clear that friends can be different
Yes, I understand you now
(Chorus 2)
It's not easy to find someone who cares
It's not easy to find magic in pairs
Now that you have him, hold him
Treasure him from day to day.
It's so easy.
(Chorus 3)
It's not easy to share somebody's dream
It gets easy
When you work as a team
You've got to tend it, fan it
That's what I plan to do.
