David Gray -  Babylon - Ben Hollis

Capo at first fret

The riff you can hear is 2 bars long and is based around an open D shape, it's easy to play but you have to pay attention to the hammer ons and pull offs to get the right feel, some notes are not picked with the right hand, just hammered on or pulled off with the left:

  D          G
E----------------------
B-2h3p2---h3-------3p2-
G-------2--------4-----

Play this riff keeping your index finger barred across these three strings at the second fret.

        Em
D-------2
A-------2
E-3-2-0-0

Just let the Em chord Ring on for 2 bars

Wait for 1 bar (NC), then end on a strummed D chord.

Corrections: One of the A chords in the chorus may be an F#m - I prefer to play A - whatever you like. The riff may start with an F# on the low E string, but this makes the song harder to play.
