Reel Big Fish - Beer
Everything Sucks

Tabbed By: Simon Mooney (skanking_in_unity@hotmail.com) aka anewhope

First off, I have yet to see a good tab for this song, or for any other Reel Big Fish
tabs on the net for that matter, so I decided to do this one myself!

The verses and chorus shouldnt present too much difficulty, infact it's a pretty easy
song all round.

Intro (Clean):

e |-5-5--5--5--5-|-1-1--1--1--1-|-0-0--0--0--0-|-3-3--3--3--3-|
b |-5-5--5--5--5-|-1-1--1--1--1-|-1-1--1--1--1-|-3-3--3--3--3-|
g |-5-5--5--5--5-|-2-2--2--2--2-|-0-0--0--0--0-|-4-4--4--4--4-|
d |-7-7--7--7--7-|-3-3--3--3--3-|-2-2--2--2--2-|-5-5--5--5--5-|
a |--------------|--------------|--------------|--------------|
E |--------------|--------------|--------------|--------------|

d |--------------------7-----|--------5-7----------|------------------7-5-|
a |--------------------------|------7--------------|----------------------|

a |--------------|--------------|--------------|--------------|
E |--------------|--------------|--------------|--------------|

She called me late last night, to say she loved me so
Didn't matter anymore
I say she never cared and that she never will
Do it all again, I guess 'll have to wait till then

She called me late last night to say she loved me, so..
But I guess she changed her mind

maybe next time I'll remember what to do,
she looks like heaven, maybe this is hell,
said she'd do it all again, she'd promise not to tell

If I get drunk well, I'll pass out on the floor now baby

I think I'll have myself a beer.

This song reminds me of a time, just after i went to the pitz (a local alt music club) and me and some mates were hanging about in my mate's spare flat drinking and doing stupid stuff, with ska playing full volume. it was in this time i met the girl who'd later be my girlfriend. now we've broken up and i'm listening to this song again and it has so many memories of better times, and the lyrics kinad fit now. for months we thought this song was by mustard plug, having only the mp3, but i just discovered it's by reel big fish.

partly right. the verses are about the two girls calling him in the middle of the night but the chorus is about aaron making fun of matt and andrew.
