Door to the River

Manic Street Preachers
Tab

This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Song

I tried including the lyrics in so as to help with the timing,

but listening to the recording is always your best bet.

VERSE 1

I'm losing all my innocence...

e----------------------|e--7h8-----8--7-----------|
B---------------------.|B-------8-----------------|
G----------------------|G-------------------------|
D----------------------|D-------------------------|
A----2---------2------.|A-------------------------|
E-3------3--3------3---|E-------------------------|

I know I've stop making much sense

e----------------------|e--7--8-------------------|
B---------------------.|B--------8----------------|
G----------------------|G-------------------------|
D----------------------|D-------------------------|
A----2---------2------.|A-------------------------|
E-3------3--3------3---|E-------------------------|

Door to the river...

e----------------------|e-7h8--10-----8--7--------|
B---------------------.|B----------8--------------|
G----------------------|G-------------------------|
D----------------------|D-------------------------|
A----2---------2------.|A-------------------------|
E-3------3--3------3---|E-------------------------|

I think I'll leave and take some rest

e----------------------|e-5s7---------------------|
B---------------------.|B------8--7-----8--8------|
G----------------------|G------------8------------|
D----4---------4-------|D-------------------------|

CHORUS

All my bests wishes are just lies

Em A

e-0-----------------------------0---|
B-0-----------------------------2---|
G-0-----------------------------2---|
D-2-----------------------------2---|
A-2-----------------------------0---|
E-0-----------------------------x---|

are just lies

C

e----------x----------|
B----------5----------|
G----------5----------|
D----------5----------|
A----------3----------|
E----------x----------|

VERSE 2 doesn't have many fills, just repeat the main riff.

If I forgot one, I'm sorry.

CHORUS

Fearful of the future now

Em A

e-0-----------------------0---|
B-0-----------------------2---|
G-0-----------------------2---|
D-2-----------------------2---|
A-2-----------------------0---|
E-0-----------------------x---|

The future is now

C

e---------------x----------|
B---------------5----------|
G---------------5----------|
D---------------5----------|
A---------------3----------|
E---------------x----------|

But it's true the things you feel dont go

Bm Em

e--2-------------------------7--|
B--3-------------------------8--|
G--4-------------------------9--|
D--4-------------------------9--|
A--2-------------------------7--|
E--x-------------------------x--|

The people that you love hold on

C G

e--3-----------------------------3---|
B--5-----------------------------3---|
G--5-----------------------------4---|
D--5-----------------------------5---|
A--3-----------------------------5---|
E--x-----------------------------3---|

Baby I lost my way following our star

Bm Em

e--2-----------------7--|
B--3-----------------8--|
G--4-----------------9--|
D--4-----------------9--|
A--2-----------------7--|
E--x-----------------x--|

but I guess that's just how you are

C

e-x-----------------------|e----------------------------------|
B-5-----------------------|B----------------------------------|
G-5-----------------------|G---------------------1----2-1-----|
D-5-----------------------|D-----0------0------2---2------2---|
A-3-----------------------|A---2------0------2-------2------2-|
E-x-----------------------|E-3------2------0------------------|

I don't think there are any more surprises, just following the same patterns.

Hope this sounds better than the first one.
