Alphabet Soup - Bell X1. Tab & Chords. Tabbed By Paul Mackle. This is a great song, by a great "new" band called Bell X1 (Damien Rice's former band mates). Couldnt find any Bell X1 tabs, so i thought i'd have a crack myself. So here goes.... Theres a few riffs, but theyre all based around the same idea: Opening Riff: e-----------------------------------------e b-----------------------------------------b g--7-7-6-------5---7-7-6------------------g d--------5-7-7---5-------5-7-7-4-7--------d a-----------------------------------------a e-----------------------------------------e when that dies down, theres a quieter riff to go with the verse. (its also the same riff at the end) Quieter/Ending Riff: (the very last time you play it, at the end of the song add that wee note in brackets!) e-----------------------------------------e b-----------------------------------------b g--7-7-6-------5-------5-------------(7)--g d--------5-7-7---5-7-7---5-7-7-4-7--------d a-----------------------------------------d e-----------------------------------------e There seems to be a small riff played over and over again when "youre not Maud Gonne" changes key: e----------------e b----------------b g-7-7-6----------g d-------5--------d a----------------a e----------------a theres also another riff around "i was somone elses children": e-------------------------------------------e b-------------------------------------------b g--7-p-6----------------7-p-6---------------g d--------4-h-5-h-7-p-4--------4-h-5-h-7-----d a-------------------------------------------a e-------------------------------------------e Well thats about it for the riffs; chords are easy enough too: Verse:
I Shoulda kDnown, by the aArc of the empty wine glass I shoulda kDnown, cos you sAtep on, dont walk over cracks looking over my ShDoulder, to see you loAoking back over yours but you were paying the feDrryman, even aAfter Chris said dont..
Pre Chorus:

Chorus:

Verse: (chords as above) I shoulda known, but i only caught a glimpse, I shoulda known, a beautiful red wine stained glimpse, i was other peoples children, i could always be sent home, in front of some elses blue screen, for someone elses show, Pre Chorus & Chorus: (as above) Ending:
