Album - Viva La Vida


STANDARD TUNING
NO CAPO 

VERSE 1:
      C#m
Was a long and dark December 

From the rooftops I remember
          A           F#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 

CHORUS:
          A
When the future architecture 
     B                     C#m
By a carnival of idiots on show 
               B
You better lie low 
       A    E   C#m       F#m B  C#m
If you love me, won’t you let me know 

VERSE 2:
      C#m
Was a long and dark December 
When the banks became cathedrals 
        A            F#m
And the frost became gone 
 C#m
Creased cut stones and bibles 
Are all out to fade their rifles 
         A             F#m
And the cross was held aloft 

CHORUS:
A
There in me and I’m… 
         B
When I’m dead and hit the ground 
         C#m       B
Legs are cold, unfold 
       A    E   C#m       F#m B  C#m
If you love me, won’t you let me know 

GUITAR SOLO:

C#m C#m A F#m  x2

CHORUS:
        A
I don’t wanna be a soldier 
       B
With a captain of some sinking ship 
     C#m
With snow 
    B
Far below 
            A    E   C#m      F#m B  C#m
So, if you love me, why’d you let me go 

OUTRO:
          E            A      G#m      A
I took my love down to Violet Hill 
        C#m     F#m   A   
There we sat    in    snow 
         C#m  F#m     A         G#m
All that time she was silenced still 
    E      A    E   C#m       F#m  B    C#m   F#m
So, if you love me, won’t you let  me   know?
E      A    E   C#m       F#m B  C#m
If you love me, won’t you let me know?
