Violet Hill by Coldplay
STANDARD TUNING
[Verse 1]
C#m
Was a long and dark December
From the rooftops I remember
A F#m
There was snow, white snow
C#m
Clearly I remember from the windows
A
They were watching while we froze...
F#m
Down below
[Chorus]
A
When the future's architectured
B C#m
By a carnival of idiots on show
B
You'd better lie low
A G#m E C#m B C#m
If you love me, won’t you let me know?
[Verse 2]
C#m
Was a long and dark December
When the banks became cathedrals
A F#m
And the fog became gone
C#m
Priest clutched onto bibles
Hollowed out to fit their rifles
A F#m
And the cross was held aloft.
[Chorus]
A
Bury me in armor
B
When I’m dead and hit the ground
C#m B
My love's opposed but unfolds
A G#m E C#m B C#m
If you love me, won’t you let me know?

[Chorus]
A
I don’t wanna be a soldier
B
who the captain of some sinking ship
C#m
would stow
B
far below...
A G#m E C#m B C#m
So if If you love me, won’t you let me know?
[Outro]
E A G#m A
I took my love down to Violet Hill
C#m F#m A
There we sat in snow
C#m F#m A G#m
All that time she was silenced still
E A E C#m F#m B C#m F#m
So, if you love me, won’t you let me know?
A G#m E C#m B C#m
If you love me, won’t you let me know?
