Hey fellow bassists! This is one of the best No Doubt songs ever written, so I
think it deserves to be played properly. This isn't the WHOLE song, but it IS
most of it. It's not too hard to play either. If you have a question, e-mail me:

Oh, PS... I find this song (except for the chorus) sounds better if you pluck the
strings as hard as poss, but it can hurt your fingers, so your choice.
