WORDS AND MUSIC
So many modern commercial songs (frequently written by a team of songwriters) use a handful of diatonic chords (belonging to the same key). In almost every song, T-Lex uses a chord progression somewhere in the song to help give the song an identity and make it unique. Chords and lyrics for all the songs on Bandcamp can be found below.
