The Music Box Ed Harcourt
Eb D° Eb
The music box is all that's left in the empty house
D° Cm
Must've left it when they moved out
[B+]In a hurry to [Eb/Bb]flee the town[Ab] [Fm/C]
Eb D° Eb
Armoured tanks broke through all of the soldier's ranks
D° Cm
You can be sure they weren't shooting blanks
[B+]From bodies laid out[Eb/Bb] on the ground[Ab] [Fm/C]
[Fm]There's a song your [Cm]father had sung
[Fm]When you were just knee[Cm] high
[Fm]Now a soldier [Bb]plays the same tune
Eb D° Cm
From the toy you left behind
D°/Bb Eb/Bb
Something to remind you
D°/Bb Eb/Bb
Something to remind you
Burnt to black there's a face you don't recognize
Just a doll with hollow eyes
And a feeling you can't describe
In factories, toys are made by the companies
Who create our killing machines
So the planet can rest at ease
There's a story you had to hear
When you couldn't sleep at all
Now the pages are burning
In some sad unholy war
Something to remind you
Something to remind you
[/Bb]Something to re[/C]mind you
[/D]The ones you left b[/Eb]ehind you
Something to remind you
Something to remind you
Something to remind you
The ones you left behind you
The music box plays a song that I used to love
But now I can't remember what it was
For my memory has faded
*Note the ascending bass line at the end of the second chorus the leads into a
The last quiet verse uses the same chords as the first verse but fades out on a couple alternate
chords that I can't seem to make out. Any suggestions?
