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

There's a song your father had sung

In some sad unholy war
Something to remind you
Something to remind you
/Bb /C
Something to remind you
/D /Eb

Something to remind you
Something to remind you
Something to remind you
The ones you left behind you

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?
