Song: "Bathwater"
Group: No Doubt
Album: Return of Saturn (2001)
written by: Gwen Stefani, Tony Kanal and Tom Dumont

Transcribed by: Laura McWilliams

this is the way I used to play it, back when i still had a band :(
we didn't even play the guitar during the verse; the bass pretty much
carries it fine by itself.
mostly it's just 5-chords; pretty easy. play them on the 5th string (A)
except the E and G, which you play on the 6th string (E).

NOTATION- sets of marks like ||: these :|| mean you repeat the content
          encased within. i use slashes / to represent when you hit
          the chords (and slides, within tab).
