Song Title: Spiderwebs
Artist: No Doubt
Album: Tragic Kingdom (1995)

Original bass tab by: Jeff Mitchell (remitch@ix.netcom.com)

----------------------------------------------
I was looking at No Doubt bass tabs for fun and found errors/omissions
in "It's my life" and then this one.  Every time I listen to this song
I hear something new in Tony Kanal's bass line, so its hardly surprising
that the tab misses a few notes here and there.  This is probably my
favorite No Doubt song to play.  The original tab was very good, and
contained most of the flourishes and variations on the record.  Kudos
to Jeff Mitchell, the original tabber.

Gwen Stefani has said that this song's lyrics were inspired by a suitor
that would frequently call her on the phone really late to talk and read
poetry to her (VH1 Storytellers).  Poor guy indeed!  His unrequited 
affection
has been forever immortalized in a top 40 hit.

This part has a few more notes than you originally had.  I split it
into 2 measures in order to get it to fit.

There is also the refrain which has some notes that you might not catch
if you aren't listening for any changes.

REFRAIN x2  (And its all your fault....)

I just tidied up your bridge (what you called the 2nd verse section).
It wasn't worth quoting the whole thing, so I just have the changes. 
The transcription was pretty accurate, but you did miss some stuff. 
Again, I split your measures into two to make it fit
