California Babylon


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 Up \ - Slide Down h - Hammer-on p - Pull-off bp- Bend Really fast before you pull-off bh- Bend really fast before you hammer-on ~ - Let Ring x - Dead Note #:- Stop note from ringing right after you strike it.

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: Verse/Chorus II: Don't say that you dont un-der-stand x x x x x x x x1 x x1 1 1 1 1 x x x x1 x x1 x x x x x x x x2 x x2 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 3x 3 3x 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3x 3 3x x x x x 1 1 1 1x 1 1x e|----------------1---1--| B|-1-1-1-1--------1---1--| G|-x-x-x-x--------2---2--| D|-2-2-2-2-3-3-3-3-3-3---| A|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3---| E|---------1-1-1-1-1-1---|
