EASY VERSION:
VERSE 1:
B minorBm
Was a long and dark December
From the rooftops I remember
G+G E minorEm
There was snow, white snow
B minorBm
Clearly I remember from the windows
G+G
They were watching while we froze
E minorEm
Down below
CHORUS:
G+G
When the future's architectured
A augmentedA B minorBm
By a carnival of idiots on show
A augmentedA
You'd better lie low
G+G F# minorF#m D MajorD B minorBm A augmentedA B minorBm
If you love me, won't you let me know?
VERSE 2:
B minorBm
Was a long and dark December
When the banks became cathedrals
G+G E minorEm
And the fog became God
B minorBm
Priests clutched onto bibles
Hollowed out to fit their rifles
G+G E minorEm
And the cross was held aloft
CHORUS:
G+G
Bury me an armor
A augmentedA
When I'm dead and hit the ground
B minorBm A augmentedA
My love's opposed, unfold
G+G F# minorF#m D MajorD B minorBm A augmentedA B minorBm
If you love me, won't you let me know?
GUITAR SOLO:
B minorBm Bm G+G E minorEm x2
(don't forget about the capo thing...it's 2 step higher so if you play without a capo, 3
a 5, 2 is a 7, etc...)

CHORUS:
G+G
I don't want to be a soldier
A augmentedA
Who the captain of some sinking ship
B minorBm
Would stow
A augmentedA
Far below
G+G F# minorF#m D MajorD B minorBm A augmentedA B minorBm
So, if you love me, why'd you let me go?
OUTRO:
D MajorD G+G D MajorD B minorBm A augmentedA G+G
I took my love down to Violet Hill
A augmentedA B minorBm F# minorF#m G+G
There we sat in the snow
G+G A augmentedA B minorBm E minorEm D MajorD B minorBm A augmentedA
All that time she was silent still
F# minorF#m G+G F# minorF#m D MajorD B minorBm
G+G
So, if you love me, won't you let me know?
F# minorF#m G+G F# minorF#m D MajorD B minorBm A augmentedA B minorBm
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 E minorEm (and Em6Em6 for the complex one)),
you can play the last 4 chords written in the "guitar solo"...
So enjoy !!! (and feel free for any suggestions)
(BTW, it's pretty fun to play around a fire with friends and beer!!)
