EASY VERSION:

Verse 1

Was a long and dark December

From the rooftops I remember

There was snow, white snow

Clearly I remember from the windows

They were watching while we froze

Down below

Chorus

When the future's architectured

By a carnival of idiots on show

You'd better lie low

If you love me, won’t you let me know?

Verse 2

Was a long and dark December

When the banks became cathedrals

And a fox became God

Priests clutched onto bibles

Hollowed out to fit their rifles

And the cross was held aloft

Chorus

Bury me an armour

When I’m dead and hit the ground

My nerves are poles that unfroze

If you love me, won’t you let me know?

Guitar solo

x2

(3x) (1x)

(the last chord is played the second time only, and the first

time, you just return to beginning of the solo...)

Chorus

I don’t want to be a soldier

Who the captain of some sinking ship

Would stow

Far below

So, if you love me, why’d you let me go?

Outro

I took my love down to Violet Hill

There we sat in the snow

All that time she was silent still

Said if you love me, won’t you let me know?

If you love me, won’t you let me know?

So it's pretty much all there. For the distorted guitar fill during the verses (instead

playing the Em (and Em6 for the complex one)),

you can play the last 4 chords written in the "guitar solo"...

So enjoy !!! (and feel free for any suggestions)
