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.
I will attempt to transcribe all of the lead guitar at a later date
Standard tuning - EADGBe
Chords used - A, A/G#, F#m, Bm, E,
C#7, D, B7
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
A A/G# F#m
Babydoll do you believe they'll catch you when you fall
Bm E D E
And when morning comes the sun is gonna shine
A A/G# F#m
Don't forget your minor keys your half lit cigarette
Bm E
Cause when morning comes god knows that you'll be mine
A C#7 F#m E D
So let me in I'm ready to beg and to sing for my sins
F#m E D
Not leave it to chance and sweet coincidence
B7 E7 D E
Well thats that's just crazy and you know it's true
A A/G# F#m

A A/G# F#m
And I heard you was graciously put on
C#7 D A D
D E

A A/G# F#m
Babydoll the men who hang like flowers in the hall
Bm E D E

A A/G#
And who knows why the love your need
F#m
Will always pass you by

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

A A/G# F#m C#7
And they laughed when you said you was leaving
D A D
Everybody knows you well except for me can't you tell
A A/G# F#m C#7
And you watched from the wings of the late show roses
D A D
By you're feet of red all for me you said
Babydoll...
From here on the opening sequence is repeated over & over to fade.
(A, A/G#, F#m, Bm, E)
