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.
