Paul Shapera - The Old Trunk In The Attic

      [Intro] Dm A Bb A

                       Dm
The old trunk in the attic
                      A
Where grandmother’s broken heart was tossed
                 Bb
In a box with a ballet shoe
                    A
And dead soldier’s cross


                      Dm
The old trunk in the attic
                       A
With the candlesticks your great uncle saved
                       Bb
From the girl in the market
                                  A
Whose mother he once paid to go away


                      Dm
The old trunk in the attic
                     A
With a dress for a child but hardly worn
               Bb
Stained in a memory 
                                    A
And tears for a name you’ll never learn


                       Dm
The old trunk in the attic
                           A
Where your grandfather’s glass eye lays to rest
                        Bb
Your sweet aunt’s nostalgia
      Dm          A           Dm     A       Dm
And Annabella’s formula for raising up the dead
Dm           A           Dm     A       Dm
Annabella’s formula for raising up the dead
Dm              A        Dm        A     Dm
Clever mother Annabella with her clever head
    Dm           A           Dm     A       Dm
Oh, Annabella’s formula for raising up the dead
