Coldplay - Violet Hill

[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?


[Solo]

Bm Bm G Em  x2

(don't forget about the capo thing...it's
 2 step higher so if you play without a capo, 3
a 5, 2 is a 7, etc...)

(3x)                        (1x)

[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?
