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.

C E                 A
  Gotta get out of TV
     C      E         A
Just pick a point and go
C     E                      A
  The ticker-tape tangles my feet
     C            E           A
As I search for a face that I know
     C   E           A
Come on, tower crane driver
        C      E      A  
There's not so far to go

  I must have been working the ropes
          C    E            A
When your hand slipped from mine
C       E                        A         
  Now I live off the mirrors and smoke
       C       E      A
It's a joke, a fix, a lie
     C   E           A
Come on, tower crane driver
C     E      A
Oh so far to fall
C E                      C#m  G#
  Send up a prayer in my na - ame
         E
Just the same
     C#m                       G#
They say I'm on top of my ga - ame
E              A
Dwindle gentle rose
C         E            A
Send up a prayer in my name
