From: wbknox@unity.ncsu.edu Sent: Thursday, December 25, 1997 9:16 PM 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-----------

Thi^Ds is ^Aplaye^Bd 4x.^G 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.

^GWhy can't you ^Astay here, you ^Dknow it's so ^Abeautiful, 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.

^GShe said it's all ^Aright, we're ^Dgonna be good ^Afriends, 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. Luke
