"The Bones of Babydolls" by Acid Bath From the Album "When the Kite String Pops" tabbed by Gray (despeyes@blackplague.org) Note: I've seen some tabs for Acid Bath saying that the tuning was dropped D - nope. The correct tuning for nearly ALL Acid Bath songs is = C G C F A D on most songs, and for the song below, simply do the tuning above, then drop all the strings to standardize the C (I'd give it string by string, but my tuner is in the other room). As for this song's method, some might like to fingerpick it (I think one guitar is fingerpicked , and one is played with a pick), but this is how I play it. I may have missed some strings, but as long as you can play these chords, the rest flows depending on how well you know the song. By the way, this is my first attempt at tabbing, so forgive any flaws. Enjoy. Setch's note:-I have been through this tab and made a few small corrections. I have not been able to get the intro right to my satisfaction, but I do know the chords for the intro are:- A minor G Amin E all arpegiated.
