ROBIN SLOAN TABS

Song: IF YOU TOLERATE THIS YOUR CHILDREN WILL BE NEXT

Band: MANIC STREET PREACHERS

Album: This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours (1998)

I play this song acoustically but if you wish to play it like the song hit the note instead

of the chord (for example hit the A string for Am) and try and find the right distortion. Listen

to the song for where to play the distorted parts, which I think is the verses and the solo, the chorus

is chords.

[Intro] x2

(play intro once before each verse)

Verse 1

The future teaches you to be alone

The present to be afraid and cold

So if I can shoot rabbits

Then I can shoot fascists

Bullets for your brain today

But we'll forget it all again

Monuments put from pen to paper

Turns me into a gutless wonder

Chorus

And if you tolerate this

Then your children will be next

And if you tolerate this

Then your children will be next

Will be next, will be next, will be next

Interlude

Verse 2

Gravity keeps my head down

Or is it maybe shame

At being so young

And being so vain

Holes in your head today

But I'm a pacifist

I've walked La Rambas but

Not with real intent

Chorus

And if you tolerate this

Then your children will be next

And if you tolerate this

Then your children will be next

Will be next, will be next, will be next
