Violet Hill

Chords

Standard

VERSE 1:

      Bm
Was a long and dark December

From the rooftops I remember
          G           Em
There was snow, white snow
  Bm
Clearly I remember from the windows
                            G
They were watching while we froze
        Em
Down below


CHORUS:
          G
When the future's architectured
     A                     Bm
By a carnival of idiots on show
                 A
You'd better lie low
       G    F#m D         Bm  A  Bm
If you love me, won?t you let me know?


VERSE 2:
      Bm
Was a long and dark December

When the banks became cathedrals
      G          Em
And a fox became God
 Bm
Priests clutched onto bibles

Hollowed out to fit their rifles
         G             Em
And the cross was held aloft


CHORUS:
G
Bury me an armour
         A
When I?m dead and hit the ground
              Bm            A
My nerves are poles that unfroze
       G    F#m D         Bm  A  Bm
If you love me, won?t you let me know?


CHORUS:
        G
I don?t want to be a soldier
       A
Who the captain of some sinking ship
     Bm
Would stow
    A
Far below
           G    F#m D         Bm  A  Bm
So, if you love me, why?d you let me go?

OUTRO:
          D    G       D  Bm  A    G
I took my love down to Violet Hill
A        Bm     F#m       G
There we sat    in the    snow
G   A    Bm   Em      D  Bm  A
All that time she was silent still
    F#m     G    F#m D         Bm   A    G
Said if you love me, won?t you let  me   know?
F#m       G   F#m D         Bm  A  Bm
If you love me, won?t you let me know?
