Violet Hill - Coldplay

           C#m
Was a long and dark December
                                C#m7
From the rooftops I remember
                  A    Asus2     F#m   F#5 F5 E5 D#5
There was snow, white snow
   C#m
Clearly I remember from the windows
                  C#m7                       A     Asus2
They were watching while we froze...
                F#m   F#5 F5 E5 D#5
Down below

 Reff
                     A
   When the future's architectured
           B                               C#m
   By a carnival of idiots on show
                            B
   You'd better lie low
   G#m    A    G#m  E          C#m B6 C#m
   If you love me, won’t you let me know?

          C#m
Was a long and dark December
                                          C#m7
When the banks became cathedrals
              A Asus2           F#m    F#5 F5 E5 D#5
And the fox       became God
  C#m
Priest clutched onto bibles
                                        C#m7
Hollowed out to fit their rifles
                 A   Asus2       F#m    F#5 F5 E5 D#5
And the cross was held aloft.

 Reff
   A
   Bury me in armour
                    B
   When I’m dead and hit the ground
                           C#m             B
   My nerves are poles that unfroze
          G#m     A   G#m  E          C#m B6   C#m
   And if you love me, won’t you let me know?

 Music : C#m C#m A F#m 2x

 Reff
               A
   I don’t wanna be a soldier
                 B
   who the captain of some sinking ship
              C#m
   would stow
         B
   far below...
         E/G#    A   G#m  E            C#m    B6   C#m
   So, if you love me, why’d you let me go?

C#m         E      A             E      G#m A
I took my love down to Violet Hill
             C#m G#m A
There we sat   in   snow
A   B    C#m F#m      E             G#m
All that time she was silenced still
      G#m   A     G#m  E         C#m B  C#m   A
So, if you love me, won’t you let me know?
G#m   A     G#m  E          C#m B C#m
If you love me, won’t you let me know?

Was a long and dark December
From the rooftops I remember

 Reff
   Bury me in armour

 Music...

 Reff
   I don’t wanna be a soldier
   who the captain of some sinking ship
   would stow
   far below...
   So, if you love me, why’d you let me go?

I took my love down to Violet Hill
There we sat   in   snow
All that time she was silenced still
So, if you love me, won’t you let me know?
If you love me, won’t you let me know?
