Babyshambles - Ballad Of Grimaldi guitar chord

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Artist: Pete Doherty (Babyshambles/Libertines)

Song: The Ballad of Grimaldi

Tabbed by: M. Goddijn

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Note: During recording Pete's guitar was a little bit out of tune so it might

sound a little bit wrong if you try to play along with the song, but if you play

the song by yourself and then listen to the cd you'll hear it's correct. You

could maybe compromise the mistuning by capoing on the first fret.

Try to find out the rhythm yourself by listening to the song.

When playing Em hit the normal Em chord the first strum and play the F-note (3rd

fret) on your D-string (3rd string) the second time you strum.

Intro

Am Em Am Em B7 Em

Sometimes a Am/C(x43320) is played instead of Am

Verse 1

Am Em Am Em B7 Em

Pre-chorus

B7 barred (x24242)

Chorus

C G C B7 C B7 C B7

Verse 2

Am Em Am Em B7 D7 Em

The riff that is played between the chord loops in the verse:

e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

D|-2-0-----------------------------------------------------------------------|

A|-----2-0-------------------------------------------------------------------|

E|---------3-4---------------------------------------------------------------|

This riff is played in several ways. Sometimes Pete uses hammer-ons and pull-offs

to create variety and sometimes one or two notes are different. You should be

able to figure this out yourself.
