Ben Clark - Violet Hill (Coldplay acoustic cover)

My stab at doing a piano song on guitar.

Violet Hill Chords
Capo 5, standard tuning.

Verse 1, "It was a long and dark December," Am A2 FM7 F9 Gsus


Am




It was a long and dark December A2
From the rooftops I remember FM7 F9
There was snow Gsus
White snow


PC F9 Gsus Am7 Em Am A2
E----0----3------3-----0----0--0----------
B----1----1------1-----0----1--0---------
G---0-----0-----0------0----2--2---------
D---3-----0-----2------2----2--2---------
A---3-----x-----0------2----0--0---------
E---1-----3-----x------0----------------

F9




When the futures architectured Gsus Am7
by a carnival of idiots on show Gsus
You better lie low F9 Em Am G Am (8 times on last Am, solid downstrokes)




If you love me, won't you let me know


Verse 2

Pre-Chorus

Solo:
Am G
Am G
F F
G G
and repeat


"I don't wanna be a soldier" is the same progression as the Pre Chorus

F9 G Am7 C Gsus F9
I took my love down to violet hill G Am G F9
There we sat in the snow
F G A C Gsus G Gsus
All that time she was silent still F9 Am7 Am7 G F9
So if you love me, wont you let me know? F9 Am7 Am7 G Am




If you love me, wont you let me know.


This is how I (emphasis on "I", me, not Coldplay) play it. I do some things different from Coldplay, so if you detect something is different, its probably meant to be that way. So, please refrain from "you did this wrong!" comments. You're probably just wasting time. Other than that, ENJOY!

I don't know if you like incubus or not, but your voice and guitar skills could do some great covers with their work.
