Babydoll Tab

by The Fratellis


Yeah so.. All of seen of this song on here is inaccurate versions or people claiming you 
a capo.. Which you dont (:
So here's my accurate tab for the chords and one of the riffs.

Standard tuning - EADGBe

Chords used - , , , , , 
, , 

For those of you who do not know what i mean by a A/G#, it is purely your box standard A 
with a G# bass added. A nice touch when descending to an F#m.
The chord should therefore look like this E A D G B e
                                          4-0-3-3-3-0


                                      
Babydoll do you believe they'll catch you when you fall

                                                     
And when morning comes the sun is gonna shine

                                        
Don't forget your minor keys your half lit cigarette

                                                 
Cause when morning comes god knows that you'll be mine

                                          
So let me in I'm ready to beg and to sing for my sins

                                      
Not leave it to chance and sweet coincidence

                                                      
Well thats that's just crazy and you know it's true

                        
Well they said you was long gone

                    
I just laughed and said alright

                         
Bring her home tonight

                             
And I heard you was graciously put on

                                              
   
I just laughed and said good night guess it's alright

                                         
Babydoll the men who hang like flowers in the hall

                                        
Are asking when your love is gonna show

                
And who knows why the love your need


Will always pass you by

                                          
Well I heard it's true your love is gonna grow

                                       
So let me know cause I can stay or honey I can go

                         
Just to wherever you tell me so

                                      
And find my place there and there I'll stay

                                
Well they said you was burned out I just laughed

                                         
And said come on she's not burned she's just gone

                                
And it took me too long till I found out

                                         
Faces that you know the best oh well I guess

                                    
And they laughed when you said you was leaving

                                            
Everybody knows you well except for me can't you tell

                                        
And you watched from the wings of the late show roses

                                       
By you're feet of red all for me you said

Babydoll...

From here on the opening sequence is repeated over & over to fade.
(, , , , )

Over this sequence there are two distinctive riffs.
The first of which is tabbed below:


e----------------------------------------------------------------------|
B----------------------------------------------------------------------|
G--2-----2h-4/-6\-4-2-1-----------2-----2h-4/-6\-4-2-1-----------------|
D-----------------------4------------------------------4---------------|
A----------------------------------------------------------------------|
E----------------------------------------------------------------------|

e----------------------------------------------------------------------|
B----------------------------------------------------------------------|
G--2-----2h-4/-6\-2-1-----------1--------------------------------------|
D---------------------2-------4----------------------------------------|
A----------------------------------------------------------------------|
E----------------------------------------------------------------------|

This is played twice and is then followed by a second, different riff which i have still 

 = Hammer-on
/ = Slide up
\ = Slide down


Not bad for my first tab ehh? (:
