| Was a | long and dark December |
| From the rooftops I remember |
| G | Em | |

| Was a | long and dark December |
| When the banks became cathedrals |
| G | |
| And the | fog |
| Em | |
| Became | God |
| Bm | |
| P | riests clutched onto bibles |
| Hollowed out to fit their rifles |
| G | Em | |
| And the | cross was held al | oft |
| G | |
| Bury me an armor |
| A | |
| When I'm | dead and hit the ground |
| Bm | A | |
| My love's op | posed, un | fold |

| I don't | want to be a soldier |
| A | |
| Who the cap | tain of some sinking ship |
| Bm | |
| Would | stow |

| Far | below |
| F#m | G | |
| So, | If you l | ove me, |
