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 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-------------------------------------------

E----------------------------------------3-2-0---
B---------------8-7-----------------------------3-
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.
