EASY VERSION:

Verse 1

 Was a Bmlong and dark December

From the rooftops I remember

 There was Gsnow, white Emsnow

 ClBmearly I remember from the windows

 They were watching while we Gfroze

 Down belEmow

Chorus

 When the fGuture's architectured

 By a Acarnival of idiots on Bmshow

 You'd better lie Alow

 If you Glove F♯mme, Dwon’t you Bmlet Ame Bmknow?

Verse 2

 Was a Bmlong and dark December

When the banks became cathedrals

 And a Gfox became EmGod

 PBmriests clutched onto bibles

Hollowed out to fit their rifles

 And the cGross was held Emaloft

Chorus

GBury me an armour

 When I’m Adead and hit the ground

 My nerves are Bmpoles that unfAroze

 If you Glove F♯mme, Dwon’t you Bmlet Ame Bmknow?

Guitar solo

Bm Bm G Em x2

 Who theA captain of some sinking ship

 WouldBm stow

 Far Abelow

 So, if you Glove F♯mme, Dwhy’d you Bmlet Ame Bmgo?

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)
