Babylon
Other tabs for this song are written in
standard tuning, but I think Angus plays this
in Drop D (DADGBe). Feel free to add any comments/corrections.

Have a listen to this part of the song, the strumming is bit difficult
to tab out cause the strumming pattern/muting changes.
[VERSE]
So rest your head
you’re all mine.
And I stay awake,
I won’t go home.
Let’s go on a holiday.
To burn this town
She’s my Babylon.
So rest your heart
you’re all mine.
Because if you walk away,
I fall on down.
And bleed, red as blood
Red as when.
She’s my Babylon.
[CHORUS]
Not too sure about the name of the chords,
but I think the ones I used sound alright.
Fsus4: 224422
A11: 540xxx

No I don’t want to see you go.
[Play VERSE part once]
(Fsus4) (A11)
No I don’t want to, be alone.
[VERSE]
So rest your hand
you’re all mine.
I can’t stay awake,
my eyes fall down.
Said I dreamed a dream
that you walk ‘round
She’s my Babylon.
[CHORUS]
(Fsus4) (A11)
No I don’t want to, see you go.
(Fsus4) (A11)
No I don’t want to, be alone
(Fsus4) (A11)
No I don’t want to, be alone.
(Fsus4) (A11)
No I don’t want to, be alone.

listen to the song to get that rhythm, + with the muting, i may not be written down
right, but you know yourself, once your playing the song you get the muting with the rhythm
beat. (Much harder to isolate it and write it down :-) ).
the chords are strummed once during the chorus as follows:
Em(022033) G(320033)
(No I don’t want to be ay-ay-alone)
LYRICS:
So-oh rest your head-
you're all mine.
And I stay awake,
I won't go home.
Let's go on holidays.
To burn this town
She's my Baby-lo-on.
So rest your heart-
you're all mine.
Because if you walk away,
I fall on down.
And bleed, red as blood-
Red as wine.
She's my Baby-lo-on.
No I don't want to
see-ay-ay you go.
No I don't want to
be ay-ay-alone.
So rest your hand -
you're all mine.
I can't stay awake,
my eyes fall down.
Said I dreamed a dream
that you walk 'round
She's my Baby-lo-on.
No I don't want to
See-ay-ay you go.
No I don't want to
Be ay-ay-alone
No I don't want to
Be ay-ay-alone.
No I don't want to
Be alone.
