The Loneliness of a Tower Crane Driver — Elbow
Chords and lyrics for The Loneliness of a Tower Crane Driver by Elbow (key of G).
Verse 1
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.
