Band: Reel Big Fish
Album: Keep Your Reciept (1996)

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 MajorD        A augmentedA   B minorBm  G+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 MajorD    A augmentedA    BB    G+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.)

           G+G            A augmentedA            D MajorD  D MajorD  D MajorD  (riff)

(Repeat chorus)

D---------------------------4-2-4---4-------------

I hope this sounds good to you.  Let me know of any other ways of playing
this song, especially the solo.
