----------------------------------------------------------------- Baby Says - The Kills ----------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Neil Bhateja Email: neilb1992@gmail.com This is a rendition I came up with in standard tuning, for those of us who are too lazy to change tunings. It's based on their acoustic performance of the song at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BB5McNG1cw which has some minor differences from the studio version. For the chorus, I happened to find it convenient to play the 5th string with a pick and the second string with my middle finger. Please let me know if you find any errors!
