EASY VERSION:

VERSE 1:

      Chord diagramB minorBm
Was a long and dark December

From the rooftops I remember
          Chord diagramG+G           Chord diagramE minorEm
There was snow, white snow
  Chord diagramB minorBm
Clearly I remember from the windows
                            Chord diagramG+G
They were watching while we froze
        Chord diagramE minorEm
Down below


CHORUS:
          Chord diagramG+G
When the future's architectured
     Chord diagramA augmentedA                     Chord diagramB minorBm
By a carnival of idiots on show
                 Chord diagramA augmentedA
You'd better lie low
       Chord diagramG+G    Chord diagramF# minorF#m Chord diagramD MajorD         Chord diagramB minorBm  Chord diagramA augmentedA  Chord diagramB minorBm

VERSE 2:

Was a long and dark December

When the banks became cathedrals
        Chord diagramG+G          Chord diagramE minorEm
And the fog became God
 Chord diagramB minorBm
Priests clutched onto bibles

Hollowed out to fit their rifles
         Chord diagramG+G             Chord diagramE minorEm
And the cross was held aloft


CHORUS:
Chord diagramG+G
Bury me an armor
         Chord diagramA augmentedA
When I'm dead and hit the ground
            Chord diagramB minorBm        Chord diagramA augmentedA
My love's opposed, unfold
       Chord diagramG+G    Chord diagramF# minorF#m Chord diagramD MajorD         Chord diagramB minorBm  Chord diagramA augmentedA  Chord diagramB 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 Chord diagramE minorEm (and Chord diagramEm6Em6 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!!)
