Illscarlett - Babylon Song Bass guitar tab
It's going to be kind of difficult to figure this one out because of all the variations
fills that Jonny does but I'll tab out the main idea so you can play around with it a bit.
Standard Tuning EADG
Intro:
pause for guitar and come in for "Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, poh!"

That is not the right rythm because It's quite difficult to tab but when you play it
with the song, and follow the beat and the guitar it'll sound perfectly fine.

Look at the writing under the bridge to see how its played because I had the same issues
the last chorus as I did with the bridge.
End On
