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

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?
