I recently saw Reel Big Fish in concert for the 2nd time and they are utterly amazing and I'm determined to learn every single one of their songs.  For every one I can't find a tab for, I'll write one... here's the first of many to come, so enjoy!

the guitar does some crazy stuff that i can't
really transcribe... just keep playing the last chord and it'll sound just fine.



That's the whole song, enjoy yourself!  RBF rules!
