Violet Hill by Coldplay

STANDARD TUNING


VERSE 1:
      C#mWas (x13321@4)a long and dark December 

From the rooftops I remember
          A (x02220@1)         F#mThere (244222@1)was snow, white snow 
  C#m
Clearly I remember from the windows 
                            AThey (x02220@1)were watching while we froze... 
        F#mDown (244222@1)below 

CHORUS:
          AWhen (x02220@1)the future's architectured
     B (x2444x@1)                   C#mBy (x13321@4)a carnival of idiots on show 
                 BYou'd (x2444x@1)better lie low 
       A (x02220@1)  G#mE         C#mB  C#mIf (x13321@4)you love me, won't you let me know?

VERSE 2:
      C#mWas (x13321@4)a long and dark December 
When the banks became cathedrals 
        A (x02220@1)        F#mAnd (244222@1)the fog became gone 
 C#m
Priest clutched onto bibles 
Hollowed out to fit their rifles
         A (x02220@1)           F#mAnd (244222@1)the cross was held aloft.

CHORUS:
ABury (x02220@1)me in armor
         BWhen (x2444x@1)I'm dead and hit the ground 
            C#m (x13321@4)     BMy (x2444x@1)love's opposed but unfolds
       A (x02220@1)  G#mE         C#mB  C#mIf (x13321@4)you love me, won't you let me know?
