Babylon - David Gray, White Ladder
Tab By James Dodd. [email protected]

This is quite a bit different from the other version
which is tabbed on the . I play it this way and 
I think it sounds good.
> wat I can see at a glance it seems to be a bit more 
difficult than the other tab here. But I do think that this 
is the correct way.
e-mail me if you like


Intro & verse

E-----x-------x-----x--------------------------------------------
B-----x-5h6p5-x-----x-6------------------------------------------
G-----x-5-----x-7---x-5------------------------------------------
D-----x-------x-----x--------------------------------------------
A-----x-------x-----x--------------------------------------------
E--*5-x-------x---6-x--------------------------------------------

* for this A it is best to use your thum wraped over the top of
the fret board

Chorus
	F	C	Gm	C
E-------1-------0-------3-------0--------------------------------
B-------1-------1-------3-------1--------------------------------
G-------2-------0-------3-------0--------------------------------
D-------3-------2-------5-------2--------------------------------
A-------3-------3-------5-------3--------------------------------
E-------1-------3-------3-------0--------------------------------

At the end of the chorus the secon of the C chords is replaced
with a B flat.

E--1-
B--3-
G--3-
D--3-
A--1-
E--x-

when leaving the chorus to come back into the next verse there is
a minor adjustmet to the verse riff where you replace the a that 
you play with your thum wrapped over with an F on the first fret 
of the bottom E-string, small point but I think it's nice.

I'd love to here from you regarding this Tab especially the guy who
produced the other one. I'll try yours later and tell you what I
think.. James

I figured this song out a little differently.

As it was implied in earlier posts, the song is in E-flat.   However, I find it helpful to tune the
guitar *down* a whole step and play the verse riff as shown below.   


    Ebmaj7       Ab 

D --0h1p0----1-----1-
A --1-----1----------
F --2-------2----3---
C --3----------------
G -------------------
D -------------------

The verse riff repeats as described in the earlier posts.  Let your ear be your guide.

David Gray does something clever in the construction of the chorus by making the first three 
chords in each line the same, but by having the last chord in each line ascend in the key.  I think you'll find
it sounds truer to the recording if you play it like this:

First line of chorus:


    Eb  Bb  Fm  Gm

 D -1---0---3---5---
 A -1---1---3---5---
 F -2---0---3---5---
 C -3---2---5---7---
 G -3---3---5---7---
 D -1-------3---5---


Second line of chorus:


    Eb  Bb  Fm  Ab

 D -1---0---3---1---
 A -1---1---3---3---
 F -2---0---3---3---
 C -3---2---5---3---
 G -3---3---5---1---
 D -1-------3---x---


Last two lines of chorus:


    Eb  Bb  Fm  Bb

 D -1---0---3---3---
 A -1---1---3---5---
 F -2---0---3---5---
 C -3---2---5---5---
 G -3---3---5---3---
 D -1-------3---x---
