The Loneliness Of A Tower Crane Driver
by Elbow
The bass does weird things that makes the chords sound different. I think
it's C/G, E/G#, A/E so if you want to incorporate that then go ahead. I've
kept it simple here and it still sounds ok. The bass does stuff on the Big
Minor Key Bit as well but I haven't been able to work out what. On the line
"They say I'm on top of my game" the C#m comes sooner than you might expect,
on "say", and then the bass changes on "game". Figure something out.
Gotta get out of TV
Just pick a point and go
The ticker-tape tangles my feet
As I search for a face that I know
Come on, tower crane driver
There's not so far to go
[interlude]
I must have been working the ropes
When your hand slipped from mine
Now I live off the mirrors and smoke
It's a joke, a fix, a lie
Come on, tower crane driver
Oh so far to fall
Send up a prayer in my na - ame
Just the same
They say I'm on top of my ga - ame
Dwindle gentle rose
Send up a prayer in my name
