Violet Hill

STANDARD TUNING NO CAPO (Scroll down for a Capoed Version) VERSE 1: Was a long and dark December From the rooftops I remember There was snow, white snow Clearly I remember from the windows They were watching while we froze Down below Chorus: When the future architecture By a carnival of idiots on show You better lie low If you love me, won’t you let me know VERSE 2: Was a long and dark December When the banks became cathedrals And the fox became god Creased cut stones and bibles Are all out to fade their rifles And the cross was held aloft Chorus: There in me and I’m… When I’m dead and hit the ground Legs are cold, unfold If you love me, won’t you let me know GUITAR SOLO: x2 Chorus: I don’t wanna be a soldier With a captain of some sinking ship With snow Far below So, if you love me, why’d you let me go OUTRO: 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? -------------------------------------------------------------------- STANDARD TUNING VERSE 1: Was a long and dark December From the rooftops I remember There was snow, white snow Clearly I remember from the windows They were watching while we froze Down below Chorus: When the future architecture By a carnival of idiots on show You better lie low If you love me, won’t you let me know VERSE 2: Was a long and dark December When the banks became cathedrals And the fox became god Creased cut stones and bibles Are all out to fade their rifles And the cross was held aloft Chorus: There in me and I’m… When I’m dead and hit the ground Legs are cold, unfold If you love me, won’t you let me know GUITAR SOLO: x2 Chorus: I don’t wanna be a soldier With a captain of some sinking ship With snow Far below So, if you love me, why’d you let me go OUTRO: 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?
