VIOLET HILL COLDPLAY
Capo 2nd Fret
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 they were watching
G Em
While we froze down below
Chorus:
G
When the future's architectured
A Bm
By a carnival of idiots on show
A
You better lie low
G D Bm Em A Bm
If you love me, won’t you let me know
Bm
Was a long and dark December when the banks became cathedrals
G Em
And the fog became God
Bm
Priests clutched on to bibles hollowed out to fit their rifles
G Em
And the cross was held aloft
Chorus:
G
Bury me in armour
A
When I’m dead and hit the ground
Bm A
A love back home unfolds
G D Bm Em A Bm
If you love me, won’t you let me know
Bm(x8)
Bm(x4) Bm(x4) G(x4) Em(x4) [ x2 ]
Chorus:
G
I don’t wanna be a soldier
A
That a captain of some sinking ship
Bm A
Would stow far below
G D Bm Em A Bm
So, if you love me, why’d you let me go
Bm(x8)
(G) D G F#m
I took my love down to Violet Hill
(G) Bm Em G
There we sat in snow
Bm Em G F#m
All that time she was silent still
D G D Bm Em A Bm
So, if you love me, won’t you let me know?
D G D Bm Em A Bm
If you love me, won’t you let me know?
