artist: Reel Big Fish
song: Boss DJ (originally done by Bradley Nowell & Sublime)
album: Cheer Up!
the ska chords: rock chords:
e:---------- e:------------------
b:-3---5--3- b:------------------
g:-4---5--3- g:------------------
d:-5---5--3- d:----3--5--7-----9-
a:---------- a:-5--1--3--5--7--7-
e:---------- e:-3-----------5----
the majority of the ska parts of the song are a ska rhythm that goes
G G C C and so forth. the only exception is right before the trombone
solo, the section goes G G Bb Bb. Real difficult, I know.
the first rock section (oowee, girl, oowee, girl...) goes: G Bb G Bb
then (really ain't no time to waste...) it goes: C D (x4) G C C D
the second rock section (it's so nice...) goes: A D (x3) A D E A
the only other deviation from the G G C C ska part is where, real
slowly, Aaron sings "Nowadays, the songs..." For that, strum a full
C and D chord at the appropraite parts.
Nowadays, the songs on the radio all, all drive me crazy
