BABYLON
Words and Music by David Gray from the White Ladder CD

BPM:      

INTRO:


Friday night and I'm going nowhere
All the lights are changing green to red
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
And all the lights are changing red to green
Moving through the crowds I'm pushing
Chemicals all rushing in my bloodstream
Only wish that you were here
You know I'm seeing it so clear I've been afraid
To show you how I really feel
Admit to some of those bad mistakes I've made

And 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 Babylon,
Babylon,
Babylon,
Babylon

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
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 if you want it come and get it
Cying 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
Babylon,
Babylon,
Babylon,
Babylon


Dmaj7/F# /// G/B /// riff
(Note that some chords in this tune are slash (/) chords.
i.e they have altered bass notes - as shown. e.g. G/B
which obviously has a B bass rather than a G...)

So, this is the best I can offer - the
verses and intro are a guitar riff built around
the following harmonic centres
DMaj7/F# /// G/B ///



Riff to Em - Guitar bass and rimshot only
