Text File

Artist: Coldplay Song: Violet Hill Album: Viva La Vida... Made by Maxime Legault (insomniak40@hotmail.com) Hi everyone! So I made up this ACOUSTIC VERSION to help people who would like to play coldplay song, so it's not the album version (since it's a lot of piano...), but feel free for any or suggestions !!! So enjoy!!! Standard Tuning with Capo on 2nd fret Chords: Bm ========== x24432 Bsus2 ======= x24422 G =========== 3x0003 Dmaj7sus4/G = 3x0023 Em ========== 022000 Em6 ========= 022020 Em(2) ======= 079987 A =========== x02220 F#m ========= 244222 D =========== xx0232 or 200232 F# (note) === 2xxxxx EASY VERSION: VERSE 1: Bm Was a long and dark December From the rooftops I remember G Em There was snow, white snow Bm Clearly I remember from the windows G They were watching while we froze Em Down below CHORUS: G When the future's architectured A Bm By a carnival of idiots on show A You'd better lie low G F#m D Bm A Bm If you love me, won�t you let me know? VERSE 2: Bm Was a long and dark December When the banks became cathedrals G Em And the fog became God Bm Priests clutched onto bibles Hollowed out to fit their rifles G Em And the cross was held aloft CHORUS: G Bury me an armor A When I�m dead and hit the ground Bm A My love's opposed, unfold G F#m D Bm A Bm If you love me, won�t you let me know? GUITAR SOLO: Bm Bm G Em 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...) (3x) (1x) |--------------------------|-----------------------------| |-3p2p0-3------------------|--3p2p0-3--------------------| (2x) |------------2-----4-------|-------------2---------------| |---------4-----4-----2----|----------4-----4--9-8--7-(6)| |-----------------------2--|-------------------7-6--5-(4)| |--------------------------|-------------------7-6--5-(4)| (the last chord is played the second time only, and the first time, you just return to beginning of the solo...) CHORUS: G I don�t want to be a soldier A Who the captain of some sinking ship Bm Would stow A Far below G F#m D Bm A Bm So, if you love me, why�d you let me go? OUTRO: D G D Bm A G I took my love down to Violet Hill A Bm F#m G There we sat in the snow G A Bm Em D Bm A All that time she was silent still F#m G F#m D Bm A G So, if you love me, won�t you let me know? F#m G F#m D Bm A Bm If you love me, won�t you let me know? MORE COMPLEX VERSION: EASY VERSION: VERSE 1: Bm Was a long and dark December Bsus2 From the rooftops I remember G Dmaj7sus4/G Em Em6 There was snow , white snow Bm Clearly I remember from the windows Bsus2 G Dmaj7sus4/G They were watching while we froze Em Em6 Down below CHORUS: G When the future's architectured A Bm By a carnival of idiots on show A You'd better lie low F#(note) G F#m D Bm A Bm If you love me, won�t you let me know? VERSE 2: Bm Was a long and dark December Bsus2 When the banks became cathedrals G Dmaj7sus4/G Em Em6 And the fog became God Bm Priests clutched onto bibles Bsus2 Hollowed out to fit their rifles G Dmaj7sus4/G Em Em6 And the cross was held aloft CHORUS: G Bury me an armor A When I�m dead and hit the ground Bm A My love's opposed, unfold F#(note) G F#m D Bm A Bm If you love me, won�t you let me know? GUITAR SOLO: Bm Bm G Em 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...) (3x) (1x) |--------------------------|-----------------------------| |-3p2p0-3------------------|--3p2p0-3--------------------| (2x) |------------2-----4-------|-------------2---------------| |---------4-----4-----2----|----------4-----4--9-8--7-(6)| |-----------------------2--|-------------------7-6--5-(4)| |--------------------------|-------------------7-6--5-(4)| (the last chord is played the second time only, and the first time, you just return to beginning of the solo...)

OUTRO: D G D Bm A G I took my love down to Violet Hill A Bm F#m G There we sat in the snow G A Bm Em(2) D Bm A All that time she was silent still F#m G F#m D Bm A G So, if you love me, won�t you let me know? F#m G F#m D Bm A Bm 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 Em (and Em6 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!!)
