VERSE 1:

Bm chordBm
Was a long and dark December

From the rooftops I remember
G chordG Em chordEm
There was snow, white snow
Bm chordBm
Clearly I remember from the windows
G chordG
They were watching while we froze
Em chordEm
Down below


CHORUS:
G chordG
When the future's architectured
A chordA Bm chordBm
By a carnival of idiots on show
A chordA
You'd better lie low
G chordG F#m chordF#m D chordD Bm chordBm A chordA Bm chordBm
If you love me, won?t you let me know?


VERSE 2:
Bm chordBm
Was a long and dark December

When the banks became cathedrals
G chordG Em chordEm
And a fox became God
Bm chordBm
Priests clutched onto bibles

Hollowed out to fit their rifles
G chordG Em chordEm
And the cross was held aloft


CHORUS:
G chordG
Bury me an armour
A chordA
When I?m dead and hit the ground
Bm chordBm A chordA
My nerves are poles that unfroze
G chordG F#m chordF#m D chordD Bm chordBm A chordA Bm chordBm
If you love me, won?t you let me know?


CHORUS:
G chordG
I don?t want to be a soldier
A chordA
Who the captain of some sinking ship
Bm chordBm
Would stow
A chordA
Far below
G chordG F#m chordF#m D chordD Bm chordBm A chordA Bm chordBm
So, if you love me, why?d you let me go?

OUTRO:

There we sat in the snow
G chordG A chordA Bm chordBm Em chordEm D chordD Bm chordBm A chordA
All that time she was silent still

Said if you love me, won?t you let me know?

About this song: Violet Hill

"Violet Hill" is the first single from Coldplay's fourth studio album Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends, released 6 May 2008.
Chris Martin described the song as having a "chalky, pastel feeling" which he said reminds him of his childhood. "Imagine a pseudo guitar-like circus music with a pinch of Chicago... It's something new from us and you will be impressed." The song is the first anti-war protest song from the band, and borrows its rhythm from the Beatles; Violet Hill is a street near Abbey Road.
