CAPO 1; All chords relative to capo
Nina Nesbitt's cover of David Gray's Babylon:
Awesome song, I really enjoyed it. Pretty simple chords.
I strongly recommend finger-picking this song, it just doesn't sound right if you strum
it. Just mess around for a bit it's a pretty simple picking pattern.
Intro: G Cadd9 x2
Verse 1:
G Cadd9 G Cadd9
Friday night, I'm going nowhere, all the lights are changing green to red
G Cadd9 G Cadd9
I'm turning all the TV stations, situations running through my head
G Cadd9
Looking back through time and it's clear that I've been blind, I've been a
G Cadd9
fool
G Cadd9 G Cadd9
To ever open up my heart to all the jealousy, the bitterness, the ridicule

Chorus:
G D/F# Em7 Cadd9
Well, if you want it, come n' get it, for crying out loud
G D/F# Em7 Cadd9
The love that I was giving you was never in doubt
G D/F# Em7 Cadd9
Let go of your heart, let go of your head and feel it now
G D/F# Em7 Cadd9
Let go of your heart, let go of your head and feel it now
G Cadd9 G Cadd9
Babylon mmmm, Babylon
Verse 2:
G Cadd9 G Cadd9
Saturday, I'm running wild, all the lights are changing red to green
G Cadd9
Moving through the crowd, I'm pushing chemicals, they're rushing through my
G Cadd9
blood stream
G Cadd9 G Cadd9
I wish that you were here, I'm saying it so clear, I've been afraid
G Cadd9 G
To tell you how I really feel; admit to some of those bad mistakes I've made
Cadd9
Repeat Chorus
Verse 3:
G Cadd9 G Cadd9
Sunday all the lights of London shining, sky is fading red to blue
G
I'm kicking through the autumn leaves
Cadd9 G Cadd9
And wondering where it is you might be going to
G Cadd9 G Cadd9
I'm turning back for home, you know I'm feeling so alone, I can't believe
G Cadd9
Climbing on the stair, I turn around to see you smiling there
G Cadd9
In front of me
Repeat Chorus(minus the "babylons")
