David Gray - Babylon

any questions? email me: blink182_fan45@yahoo.com

Capo I - if you don't have a capo...tune up? But that might break your strings.
Instead, if you don't have a capo, it might be hard but just barre the 1st fret.

Lyric's arent exact, oh well.
(repeat riff A for the next lines)
  Turning over TV stations situations running through my head...
  Looking back through time you know it's clear that i've been blind i've been a fool...
  To open up my heart to all that jealousy that bitterness that ridicule...

  Saturday i'm running wild all the lights are changing green to red...
  Moving through the crowd i'm pushing chemicals all rushing through my bloodstream...
  Only wish that you were here you know i'm seeing it so clear i've been afraid...
  To tell you how I really feel admit to some of those bad mistakes I made...

(riff A with this verse)
Sunday afternoon and all the lights of London fade from red to blue     
I’m kicking through the autumn leaves and wondering where it is you’re going to
Turning back for home you know I’m feeling so alone I can’t believe 
And climbing up the stair I turn around to see you smiling there in front of me

After that, play the chorus one more time. 

 Babylon 2 ( with acoustic intro) - David Gray
Tabbed by Scott Brabson

Alright, here's my second tab, though I'm sure it's pretty darn accurate. I've seen a 
lot of tabbings for this song, but none for the opening and few with the proper riff for 
the verse. 

Make sure to CAPO 1ST FRET

intro:

Chorus:
The chorus is different in that it doesn't have any individual picking, rather, a soft 
strum of these chords:

D, A, Em, A   (progression 1)
D, A, Em, G  (progression 2)

Progression 2 follows number 1 and continues in this patter until returning to the verse.

That's pretty much it, the verse riff is accurate for the most part, though it was kind of
tough to pick out the little muddled picking. E-mail me with questions/comments at 
igsb22@aol.com. Hope this helped out and God bless.

Verse:
Sunday all the lights of London shining sky is fading red to blue 
Kicking through the Autumn leaves and wondering 
where it is you might be 
going to 
Then I'm turning back for home you know I'm feeling so alone, 
I can't believe 
Climbing on the stair I turn around to see you smiling there, 
In front of me 
 
Chorus 2:
If you want it, come and get it. Crying out loud 
The love that I was giving you was never in doubt 
Let go of your heart, let go of your head and feel it now  x4
