California Babylon Chords & Tabs
The Transplants-California Babylon
by:DarkAsAGothKirby@aol.com
A great song by a great band, I looked everywhere on the internet
for this tab, and couldn't find it anywhere, so I did it myself.
This is my first tab, so be aware it may be a bit off, especially
the solo. I'm no experienced player, I'm only 15.

\ - Slide Down
h - Hammer-on
p - Pull-off
bp- Bend Really fast before you pull-off
bh- Bend really fast before you hammer-on

The end part of the solo [6bp4bh6bp4bh6bp4] is a lot easier
than it looks, just bend the string a bit and do the
hammer-ons and pull-offs. I don't think the bending is
nessicary anywhere, i just think it's a nice touch.
After the "She thinks shes a star,do you know who you are?"
part, the chorus/verse changes to this:
