The Music Box chords by Ed Harcourt
Guitar chords with lyrics
The music box is all that's left in the empty house
Cm
Must've left it when they moved out
C
In a hurry to flee the town
Eb
Armoured tanks broke through all of the soldier's ranks
Cm
You can be sure they weren't shooting blanks
C
From bodies laid out on the ground
Cm
There's a song your father had sung
Cm
When you were just knee high
Bb
Now a soldier plays the same tune
Cm
From the toy you left behind
Eb/Bb
Something to remind you
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 /C Something to remind you /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?
