Babylon by David Gray ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Babylon (acoustic) – David Gray ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Rozy Tuning: Drop e - Capo 1st Fret As I wish someone would have explained how to drop a string when I was starting out… To do a drop e, tune the bottom e (6th string) down while holding the b (5th string) on the 3rd fret. When the two match, you’re in business. If new to guitar, a perfect practice song for hammer/pull picking and strumming. At the first rotation of cords per verse, he strums the D2 and does a single little hammer/pull on the B string – 2h3p2. It needs proper timing, or you can simply ignore and it sounds great regardless.
