Okay, now I'm going to do a song called Violet Hill only because I haven't done it like this before and so it's some kind of exclusive and people like exclusives, right?
[Am] Okay, exclusive is another word for not that good.
[C#m] I only do it once.
Okay, ready?
It was a long and dark December, from the rooftops I remember [A] there was snow, [F#m] white snow
[C#] [C#m] Clearly I remember from the rooftops they were [A] watching while we froze [F#m] down below
[C#] [Em] [A] The future's architectured [B] by a carnival, the [C#m] videotapes show
You better [C#] lie low, [G#] and [A] if you love me [C#m] won't you let me know
It was a long and dark December when the banks became cathedrals [A] and the fox [F#m] became God
[C#m] She scourged on to bibles hollowed out to fit their rifles [A] and the cross was [F#m] held aloft
[E] [A] Bury me in armour [B] when I'm dead and hit the ground, [C#m] my nerves are poles that [B] unfroze
[G#] And [A] if you lie [C#m]
won't you let me [C#m] know
I
[A]
[F#m]
[A] don't
[F#m] [Em] [A] want to be a soldier, [B] the captain of some sinking [C#m] ship with snow [B] far below
[G#] So [A] if you lie [C#m]
won't you let me [C#m] know
[A] [C#m] I took my love down to violet [B] hill, [C#m] there we sat in [A]
snow
And all that time she was silent still, [C#] said [A] if you love me [C#m] won't you [A] let me know
If you [C#m] love me won't you let me know
[B] [D#] [G] [C]
[Am] Okay, exclusive is another word for not that good.
