Tabbed by scurt
Other tabs for this song are written in
standard tuning, but I think Angus plays this
in Drop D (DADGBe). Feel free to add any comments/corrections.

Have a listen to this part of the song, the strumming is bit difficult
to tab out cause the strumming pattern/muting changes.

[VERSE]
So rest your head
you’re all mine.
And I stay awake,
I won’t go home.
Let’s go on a holiday.
To burn this town
She’s my Babylon.
So rest your heart
you’re all mine.
Because if you walk away,
I fall on down.
And bleed, red as blood
Red as when.
She’s my Babylon.
[CHORUS]
Not too sure about the name of the chords,
but I think the ones I used sound alright.

No I don’t want to see you go.

(Fsus4) (A11)
No I don’t want to, be alone.
[VERSE]
So rest your hand
you’re all mine.
I can’t stay awake,
my eyes fall down.
Said I dreamed a dream
that you walk ‘round
She’s my Babylon.
[CHORUS]
(Fsus4) (A11)
No I don’t want to, see you go.
(Fsus4) (A11)
No I don’t want to, be alone
(Fsus4) (A11)
No I don’t want to, be alone.
(Fsus4) (A11)
No I don’t want to, be alone.
