Song

Artist: Reel Big Fish

Album: Turn the radio off (1996)

song: Turn the radio off (extra track)

Tabbed By: Jordan Fischer

This is a fun accoustic song to play and its not very hard at all. I looked

everywhere for a tab of it but I couldn't find one so i decided to make one

for myself! (and for the rest of you) I know some of it looks a little

confusing at first but it shouldn't be too hard to figure out what im trying

to say.

so anyway heres intro. Im pretty sure this is correct or close anyway:

e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------7-10-8-------------------------10-8-7-8---|
A|---5-8-5-6-6-5---5---5--8--5-6-6----------5-8-5-6-6-5---5-----5------------|
E|-6-------------8---6--------------------6-------------8---6-6--------------|

(part A) (part B) (part C)

______________|_______________ ___________|___________ ____|____

| | | | | |

e|-------------------------------|------------------------|------------------|
B|-------------------------------|------------------------|------------------|
G|-3-3-3--8-8--3-3-3--8-8--3-3-3-|-8-8--10-10-10--8-8-8---|------------------|
D|-3-3-3--8-8--3-3-3--8-8--3-3-3-|-8-8--10-10-10--8-8-8---|----0--3----------|
A|-1-1-1--6-6--1-1-1--6-6--1-1-1-|-6-6--8--8--8---6-6-6---|-1----------------|
E|-------------------------------|------------------------|------------------|

(play part A, then part B, Then play part A againg, then play part C)

And now for the verse (i am not including the number of strums here but its

easy

enough to figure out)

e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-8----------------------------------------------------------------3-8-3-8--|
D|-8-(let-ring)-----------------------------------------------------3-8-3-8--|
A|-6----------------------------------------------------------------1-6-1-6--|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Well you know i'm cool when all the guys wanna be my friend

e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-8--------------------------------------------------------------3-8-3-8----|
D|-8-(let-ring)---------------------------------------------------3-8-3-8----|
A|-6--------------------------------------------------------------1-6-1-6----|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

And all the little girls here yeah they all wanna hold my hand

e|---------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------|
G|--------3--------8------10-------------------|
D|--------3--------8------10-------------------|
A|--------1--------6------8----------5-5-8-8---|
E|-------------------------------6-6-----------|

but I stole all of my songs

e|---------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------|
G|--------3--------8------10-------------------|
D|--------3--------8------10-------------------|
A|--------1--------6------8----------5-5-8-8---|
E|-------------------------------6-6-----------|

probably gonna get sued

e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-8------------------------------3--3---------------------------------------|
D|-8------------------------------3--3---------------------------------------|
A|-6------------------------------1--1---------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

but that's allright as long as I get screwed!

now do you remember part A, B and C from the intro? well here they are again.

just play it like A-B-A-C like before during the "yeah yeah yeah"s

Now the chords for verse two are exactly the same as verse one.

The lyrics for verse two are:

mabye you'll come and see us if we get real big

and mabye you'll see us if we ever get another gig

'cause theres so many fish in the sea

and they all look like me

im just a little tiny fish, thats all i'll ever be

end on:

G|-3-

D|-3-

A|-1-

and thats all folks! questions, comments and suggestions are appreciated.
