Violet Hill Coldplay
Well, I just realized how to play the original version of Violet Hill loke Jonny plays.
This tab was made mostly watching Jonny playing, then some parts are made by ear and
checked watching Jonny and there's one part that I learned from other tab. This is for
electric guitar and if you have the option play it with a Les Paul Model, I play this
with a
Strat and it sounds like the real song.
Hope you enjoy it!
Tunning: D A D G B E
The guitar starts with something like this:
"...there was snow, white snow..."
E|----------------------| B|----------------------| G|----------------------| D|--5-4--3-2------------| A|--5-4--3-2------------| D|--5-4--3-2------------|
"...While we froze, down below"
E|----------------------| B|----------------------| G|----------------------| D|--5-4--3-2------------| A|--5-4--3-2------------| D|--5-4--3-2------------|
Then while it says "When the future's architectured" it comes with this
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-----14-14-14-14-14-14-14----14-14-14-14-14-14-14----14-14-14-14-14-14-14-| G|--16----------------------16----------------------16----------------------| D|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| -------------| ----14-14-14-| -16----------| -------------| -------------| -------------|

Now in this verse in the places where is this mark (*) it comes with this
E|--9--9--9--| B|--9--9--9--| G|--9--9--9--|
D|--11-11-11-|
A|-----------| D|-----------|
Was a long and dark Decem*ber
When the banks became ca*thedrals
And a fox *became God
E|----------------------| B|----------------------| G|----------------------| D|--5-4--3-2------------| A|--5-4--3-2------------| D|--5-4--3-2------------|
Priests clutched onto bi*bles
Hollowed out to fit their *rifles
And a cross *held aloft
Then it comes with "Bury me in armour..." with the same riff as before:
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-----14-14-14-14-14-14-14----14-14-14-14-14-14-14----14-14-14-14-14-14-14-| G|--16----------------------16----------------------16----------------------| D|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| -------------| ----14-14-14-| -16----------| -------------| -------------| -------------|
