Some Riot Tab

by Elbow


  Really nice song with very emotive lyrics. Note that the G to G# to A to B are
only links from the G# and B and are only played due to sliding your Barre chord
down the fret. I find this song easier to play using the chords with the root
note on the E string rather than switching from barre chords which have thier
root note on the E and A string.

A friend of mine grows his very own brambles
                                                    
They twist all around him until he can't move
                           
Beautiful quivering shivering shambles
                                            
What is my friend trying to prove

           x2

                                                       
He boosters a tall gentle boy to a terrible totem 
                                                      
And the kids gather round trying to see what's inside
                                                      
I think when he's drinking he's drowning some riots
                                                      
What is my friend trying to hide?

                                                  
Cuz it's breaking my heart, it's breaking my heart
                                                  
And it's breaking my heart to pull at the reigns
                                                
Brother of mine don't run with those fuckers
                                                
When will my friend start singing again
             (held on longer)   
When will my friend start singing again

Not so sure about the "oooh" part but i think the chords are just E (barred at
the 12th fret) to B. This is played four times.
