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:

D|-------------------0------------------------------------------

E|---2-------------------3---------------------------------------
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.

In Our Glorious God's Service,
Scotty B

Tabbed by: Rozy

Tuning: Drop e - Capo 1st Fret

As I wish someone would have explained how to drop a string when I was starting out…
To do a drop e, tune the bottom e (6th string) down while holding the b (5th string)
on the 3rd fret. When the two match, you’re in business. If new to guitar, a perfect
practice song for hammer/pull picking and strumming. At the first rotation of cords per
verse, he strums the D2 and does a single little hammer/pull on the B string – 2h3p2.
It needs proper timing, or you can simply ignore and it sounds great regardless.

And all the lights are changing red to green

Admit to some of those bad mistakes I've made

[Verse]
Sunday all the lights of London
Shining sky is fading red to blue

I'm 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

And well now…

[Chorus]
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

Let go of your heart
Let go of your head
And feel it now

Let go of your heart
Let go of your head
And feel it now

Let go of your heart
Let go of your head
And feel it now
