Babydoll 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.
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]Babydoll do you bel[A/G#]ieve they'll catch you w[F#m]hen you fall
[Bm]And when morning comes the sun is gonna sh[E]ine[D] [E]

Babydoll...
From here on the opening sequence is repeated over & over to fade.
(A, A/G#, F#m, Bm, E)
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

h = Hammer-on
/ = Slide up
\ = Slide down
Do not hesitate to e-mail me with any errors i have made or with any of this missing
