The Music Box Chords & Lyrics by Ed Harcourt
The Music Box
guitar chords lyrics
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+ Eb/Bb Ab Fm/C
In a hurry to flee the town
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+ Eb/Bb Ab Fm/C
From bodies laid out on the ground
Fm Cm
There's a song your father had sung
Fm Cm
When you were just knee high
Fm Bb
Now a soldier 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 /C
Something to remind you
/D /Eb
The ones you left behind 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?
