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

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?
