Violet Hill

C#mi 
Was a long and dark December 
From the rooftops I remember 
A There was snow 
F#mi 
White snow 
 
C#mi A F#mi 
Clearly I remember 
From the windows they were watching 
While we froze down below 
 
A B C#mi B 
When the future's architectured 
By a carnival of idiots on show 
You'd better lie low 
 
G#mi A G#mi E C#mi B C#mi 
If you love me 
Won't you let me know? 
 
C#mi A F#mi 
Was a long and dark December 
When the banks became cathedrals 
And the fog 
Became God 
 
C#mi A F#mi 
Priests clutched onto bibles 
Hollowed out to fit their rifles 
And the cross was held aloft 
 
A B C#mi B 
Bury me in honour 
When I?m dead and hit the ground 
My Love is opposed when unfold 
 
G#mi A G#mi E C#mi B C#mi 
If you love me 
Won't you let me know? 
 
solo: 
C#mi A F#mi 
 
A B C#mi B 
I don't want to be a soldier 
Who the captain of some sinking ship 
Would stow, far below 
 
G#mi A G#mi E C#mi B C#mi 
If you love me 
Why'd you let me go? 
 
A B C#mi F#mi E G#mi 
I took my love down to Violet Hill 
A B C#mi A 
There we sat in snow 
A B C#mi F#mi E G#mi 
All that time she was silent still 
 
G#mi A G#mi E C#mi B A 
So if you loved me 
Won't you let me know? 
 
G#mi A G#mi E C#mi B C#mi 
If you loved me, 
Won't you let me know?
