Violet Hill

C#m
Was a long and dark December

C#add9
From the rooftops I remember

A A7-5 (x0564x)
There was snow

F#m (F#5 - F5 – E5 - D#5)
White snow

C#m
Clearly I remember

C#add9
From the windows they were watching

A A7-5 F#m (F#5 - F5 – E5 - D#5)
While we froze down below


Chorus 1:

A
When the future's architecture

B C#m
By a carnival of idiots on show

B
You'd better lie low

G#m A G#m
If you love me

E C#m B C#m
Won't you let me know

C#m
Was a long and dark December

C#add9
When the banks became cathedrals

A A7 5
And the fog

F#m (F#5 F5 E5 D#5)
Became God

C#m
Priests clutched onto bibles

C#add9
And went out to fit their rifles

A A7 5 F#m (F#5 F5 E5 Eb5)
And the cross was held aloft

Chorus 2:

A
Bury me in armor

B
When I'm dead and hit the ground

F#m C#m B
A love back home unfolds


G#m A G#m
If you love me

E C#m B C#m
Won't you let me know



Interlude:

C#m… C#add9 – A – *A7-5 – F#m (F#5 - F5 – E5 - D#5) x2

* (x0564x)

Chorus 3:

A
I don't want to be a soldier

B
With the captain of some sinking ship

C#m
With snow

B
Far below

G#m A G#m
So if you love me

E C#m B C#m
Why'd you let me go?

Ending:

E A E- C#m B A
I took my love down to violet hill

B C#m G#m A
There we sat in snow

A B C#m F#m E C#m B
All that time she was silent still

G#m A G#m
So if you love me

E C#m B A
Won't you let me know?

G#m A G#m
If you love me

E C#m B C#m
Won't you let me know?
