How To Play Violet Hill

English: Coldplay: Jonny Buckland, Will Champion, Chris Martin and Guy Berryman. BBC Television Centre, London (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

It's been awhile since I posted Coldplay's Violet Hill. I originally got the chords online but as I played through it and listened to the song, I began to see that it was a bit off. Over the years, I've had high school students requesting Coldplay music because the kids like the modern music. This particular song was written in 2008 by Guy Berryman, Jon Buckland, Will Champion and Chris Martin. It's played in the Key of E with a 4/4 Time Signature (moody rock) Here are the correct chords to use.

Diane Birch: Chords to Fools

I was first introduced to Diane Birch watching 'Live at Daryl's House' on the television. Let me tell first off, this gal is mega-talented. I loved her from the beginning with her 'Carole King' type voice and she sure can play the keys... I believe the violin, too. Are you familiar with this young lady? Check her out on YouTube.

There's a couple of songs that I really like. Nothing Close To A Miracle and Fools are very popular.

Here's a chord chart to Fools and here's the video on YouTube.

intro: C#/Eb Ebm

C#/Eb   Ebm C#/Eb          Ebm   C#/Eb          Ebm
Fo-     ols knockin' on my door, calling out my name

C#/Eb         Eb        Eb7
Tellin' me to change my ways but I know

Abm7             C#7  Abm7              C#7
Two hands in the fire won't put out the flame

Abm7             C#                  Ebm
Yeah, I got your number, I know your game

              Abm7   C#7             F#      B  Bsus4 B
So why should I-     I lay it on the li-     -ne?

Abm7              Bbm7    Ebm             C#  Ebm
Everybody's got a vision, everybody's got a   plan

            Abm7  C#7                     F#  B    Bsus4 B
You tell me li-   ies, you look me in the e-  yes

    Abm7                 Bbm7             Ebm  C# Ebm
But honey I would rather stand out in the rain

(the rest of the song is just as before)

Fools lying in my bed, laughin' in my head
Telling me my dream's gone cold but I know
One city of angels, it ain't goin' put out my flame
Ooh, my love is a fire, no one can tame
So why should I lay it on the line?
Everybody's got a vision, everybody's got a plan
You tell me lies, you look me in the eyes
But honey I would rather stand out in the rain
Why should I lay it on the line?
Well, everybody's got a vision, everybody's got a plan
You tell me lies, you look me in the eyes
But honey I would rather stand out in the rain
Everybody's got a vision, everybody's got a plan
You tell me lies, you look me in the eyes
But honey I would rather stand out in the rain

Maybe you like Annie Lennox music, maybe you don't but I sure do love her quote.

Walking on walking on broken glass (2x)

F C F C F C F G
1. You were the sweetest thing that I ever knew
F C F C F C F G
but I don’t care for sugar honey if I can’t have you.
Am C F C G/Fadd9 Am
Since you’ve abandoned me my whole life has crushed.
Em
Won’t you pick the pieces up
F G C
’cause it feels just like I’m walking on broken glass.


Refrain 1:
C F C F C F G C F C F C F G
Walking on walking on broken glass (2x) [erstes Mal: Oooh!]

Am G/Fadd9
2. The sun’s still shining in the big blue sky
C F C F C F G
but it don’t mean nothing to me.
F F/G C F C F C F G
Oh, let the rain come down, let the wind blow through me!
Am G/H C F C G/Fadd9 Am
I’m living in an empty room with all the windows smashed
C
and I’ve got so little left to lose
C/G G
that it feels just like I’m walking on broken glass.


Refrain 1 (1x)

Bridge:
C/F B Am/F
And if you’re trying to cut me down you know that I might bleed
C/F B Am/F
’cause if you’re trying to cut me down I know that you’ll succeed.
C/F B Am/F
And if you want to hurt me there’s nothing left to fear
C/F B Gsus4 G
’cause if you want to hurt me you’re doing really well my dear.


Zwischenteil: C F C F C F G (2x)

F F/G C F
3. Now everyone of us was made to suffer,
C F C F G
everyone of us was made to weep
F F/G C F
but we’ve been hurting one another


C F C F G Am
And now the pain has cut too deep
C/G
So take me from the wreckage,
F C G/Fadd9 Am
save me from the blast!
G/Fadd9
Lift me up and take me back!
F Gsus4
Don’t let me keep on walking - Don’t let me keep on walking

I can’t keep on walking on - keep on walking on
G
I can’t keep on walking on - Don’t let me Don’t let me

broken glass!
