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).

intro:

FX: lots of distortion, reverb.
(vocals start)
Em (w/ whammy) Em Em Em
e:---7----------------------|-----(0)--0-------0---|-----0----------|
B:---8----------------------|-----(0)----3-1--(0)--|-----0----------|
G:---9----------------------|-4\--(0)---------(0)--|-----0----------|
D:---9-------------7-/2-----|------2----------(2)--|-----2----------|
A:---7----------------------|------2----------(2)--|-----2----------|
E:--------------------------|-----(0)---------(0)--|--5--0----------|

//==================================================================

2nd intro
(after quiet part where she goes "why do all the good girls want the
bad boys?")

E5 Em A(?) (back into verse)
e:--7----(7)-----x--------------|
B:--------8------10-------------|
G:--9-----9------9--------------|
D:--9-----9------7--------------| end on Em.
A:--7-----7-----(7)-------------|
E:-------(7)-----x--------------|

Ok, there are some other little licks that he does during the chorus
that i never bothered to figure out. so if anyone wants to add that in,
please feel free. email me w/ questions or comments.
