Coldplay - 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

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

             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

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:

             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 s  i l e n t 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?
