NO CAPO (Scroll down for a Capoed Version)  

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 fox became god 
 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?
