Song: Why Do All Girls Think They're Fat?
Band: Reel Big Fish
Album: Keep Your Reciept (1996)
Written by my hero, Aaron Barrett
Transcribed by Luke Knox (lukeknox@iname.com)

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 (xx0232@1)      A (x02220@1) Bm (x24432@1)G (320003@1)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 (xx0232@1)  A (x02220@1)  B (x2444x@1)  G (320003@1)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 (xx0232@1)name="chord_x02220@1">A F# (244322@1)name="chord_320003@1">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 (320003@1)         C (x32010@1)          B (x2444x@1)  (Heavy Palm mute)
She drags a tear from my eye.
G (320003@1)        C (x32010@1)          B (x2444x@1)   (Palm mute)
You know I sure hate to lie.
G (320003@1)           A (x02220@1)            D (xx0232@1)          A (x02220@1)Why can't you stay here, you know it's so beautiful,
G (320003@1)              A (x02220@1)                 D (xx0232@1) D (xx0232@1) D(riff) (xx0232@1)and how come all girls think they're fat?
Chorus:
D (xx0232@1)     D (xx0232@1) A (x02220@1)   B (x2444x@1)G (320003@1)     (riff)
Hey Hey Hey She's so pretty.

(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 (320003@1)         C (x32010@1)         B (x2444x@1)  (palm mute)
She took me back to her house.
G (320003@1)           C (x32010@1)         B (x2444x@1)  (pm)
She pushed me down on the couch.
G (320003@1)               A (x02220@1)          D (xx0232@1)           AShe (x02220@1)said it's all right, we're gonna be good friends, 
           G (320003@1)          A (x02220@1)          D (xx0232@1)D (xx0232@1)D (xx0232@1)(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-----------------------------------

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.
