[A]
[E]
Was [C#m] a long and dark December, from the rooftops I remember, there [A] was snow, [F#m] white snow.
[C#] [D#] [C#m]
Clearly I remember, from the windows they were watching while [A] we flowed [F#m] down below.
[F] [D#] When [A] the teachers are your teachers, [B] like carnival [C#m] or bed, your son's show, you better [E] lie low.
[G#m]
If [A] you [G#m] love [C#m] it, won't you [B] let me [C#m] know?
Was a long and dark December, when the faith became cathedral [A] and the fathers [F#m] in love.
[C#] [D#] [C#m]
Priests cut shunts of Bibles, hollowed out to make their [D#] rifles, [A] and the fathers who smelled [F#m] their [C#] love.
[D#] [A] Bury me in armor, [B] when I'm dead and take the [C#m] crown, because I'm poor and I'm [B] slow.
[G#m]
If [A] you [G#m] love [C#m] it, won't you [B] let [C#] me know?
[C#m]
[A]
[F#m] [D#] [C#m]
I
[A] [F#m]
[E] [D#] [A] wanna be a soldier, [B] the cantina's [C#m] so sacred, ship was stolen, [B] far below.
[C#] [G#m]
If [A] you [G#m] love it, [C#m] won't you [B] let [C#] me go?
I
[C#m] took my [F#m] love [C#m] down to Violet [B] [A] Hill, [B] there we [C#m]
[E] sat in [A] snow.
[B] All that [C#m]
[F#m] time [E] she was silent [G#m] still, said [A] if you [E] love me, [C#m] won't you [B] let me [A] know?
[E] If [A] you [G#m] love [E] me, won't you [B] let me [C#m] know?
