Sublime - Bad Fish

i transposed this song from the original for easier play – ability with use of a capo for
those who find it difficult to play full barre chords . for this acoustic version i play
using the intro strumming pattern for the entirety if the song . it gives it a fuller
sound especially when playing alone in contrast to traditional staccato style reggae
strumming which is ideal when playing in a full band . enjoy .

capo 2nd fret
intro : G Am F G
