Bathwater chords by No Doubt

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----------|
