Violet Hill

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 A When the future architecture B C#m By a carnival of idiots on show B You better lie low A E C#m F#m B C#m If you love me, won't you let me know C#m Was a long and dark December When the banks became cathedrals A F#m And the frost became gone C#m Creased cut stones and bibles Are all out to fade their rifles A F#m And the cross was held aloft A There in me and I'm… B When I'm dead and hit the ground C#m B Legs are cold, unfold A E C#m F#m B C#m If you love me, won't you let me know A I don't wanna be a soldier B With a captain of some sinking ship C#m With snow B Far below A E C#m F#m B C#m So, if you love me, why'd you let me go 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? E A E C#m F#m B C#m If you love me, won't you let me know?
