Some Riot — Elbow
Chords and lyrics for Some Riot by Elbow (key of A).
Verse 1
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.
E B x 2

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.
