Bad Fish Chords

(ver. 2)
Sublime
Off the album Second Hand Smoke

Standard Tuning, but really if the guitar hasn't been tuned is has a nice sound to 
it, just get it close.

intro progression:(pattern is basic)
A, Bm, G, A, A, Bm, G, A

verse: these aren't too tricky to remember, but I've tabbed them anyway

   A   Bm  G  A5  D  E
e|-9----7-----------------------------------|
B|-10---7--8—10---7--9----------------------|
G|-9----7--7--9---7--9----------------------|
D|---------9------7--9----------------------|
A|-------------------7----------------------|
E|------------------------------------------|
pattern on the verse is like this:


A                         Bm
When you grab a hold of me
     G                       A5
Tell me I will never be set free
                    Bm
But I'm a parasite,
       G                          A
Creep and crawl I step into the night
               D
Two pints of booze,
         G                      A 
Tell me are you a bad fish too? (are you a badfish too?)
e|------------------------------------------|
B|--2h3p2-----------------------------------|
G|--------2-----2h4-4-----------------------|
D|----------2h4-----------------------------|
A|------------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------|
D                           A
Ain't got no money to spend
D                          A
I know the night will never end
D                   A
Lord knows I'm weak
            D                       E
Won't somebody get me off of this reef?

Verse 2:
A                           Bm
Baby you're a big blue whale
     G                               A5
Grab the reef when all duck diving fails
      Bm                  G    
I swim, but I wish I never learned
D               G              A
The water's too polluted with germs
e|------------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------2h3p2---2h3p2------|

A|------------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------|
 
             D                           A
I dive deep when it's ten feet over head
   D                               A
Grab the reef from underneath my bed. (underneath my bed but)

Ain't got not quarrels with God.
D                         A
Ain't got no time to grow old.
D                    A
Lord knows I'm weak.
             D                       E
Won't some body get me off of this reef?
