C#m
Was a long and dark December
From the rooftops I remember
AF#m
There was snow, white snow
C#m
Clearly I remember from the windows
A
They were watching while we froze
F#m
Down below
A
When the future architecture
BC#m
By a carnival of idiots on show
B
You better lie low
AEC#mF#mBC#m
If you love me, won’t you let me know
C#m
Was a long and dark December
When the banks became cathedrals
AF#m
And the frost became gone
C#m
Creased cut stones and bibles
Are all out to fade their rifles
AF#m
And the cross was held aloft
A
There in me and I’m…
B
When I’m dead and hit the ground
C#mB
Legs are cold, unfold
AEC#mF#mBC#m
If you love me, won’t you let me know
A
I don’t wanna be a soldier
B
With a captain of some sinking ship
C#m
With snow
B
Far below
AEC#mF#mBC#m
So, if you love me, why’d you let me go
EAG#mA
I took my love down to Violet Hill
C#mF#mA
There we sat in snow
C#mF#mAG#m
All that time she was silenced still
EAEC#mF#mBC#mF#m
So, if you love me, won’t you let me know?
EAEC#mF#mBC#m
If you love me, won’t you let me know?
