Manic Street Preachers - If You Tolerate This guitar tab

Song: If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next.

Artist: Manic Street Preachers

Tabbed By: Small Black Flower

A fantastic song and a huge hit for the band, and one of my favourites.

This is a complete tab as far as I know?.

INTRO: Am Em F C F

VERSE 1

Am Em

The future teaches you to be alone

F C

The present to be afraid and cold.

Dm Am G

?So if I can shoot rabbits then I can shoot fascists?

VERSE 2

Am Em

Bullets for your brains today

F C

But we?ll forget it all again

Dm

Monuments put from pen to paper

Am G

Turns me into a gutless wonder

CHORUS

Dm Am G

And if you tolerate this then your children will be next

Dm Am G

And if you tolerate this then your children will be next,

G G G

Will be next will be next will be next.

Am Em F C F

VERSE 3

Am Em F C

Gravity keeps my head down, or is it maybe shame

Dm Am G

At being so young and being so vain.

Am Em F C

Holes in your head today but I?m a pacifist I?ve

Dm Am G

Walked La Ramblas but not with real intent.

REPEAT CHORUS

SOLO

This is all played on the B string.

B-3/ 10~~~~~~~~~-8~~~~~~~~~13-12~~~~~~~~~~10/-6~~~~-10/-5~~~~~~-1/-3~~~~~

BRIDGE: played on distorted guitar on the A string.

8 7 2 0 3 2

And on the street tonight an old man plays,

8 7 3 5

With newspaper cuttings of his glory days.

REPEAT CHORUS

ENDING

Repeat the chords from the chorus 3 times and then end on one strum of F, C, G

That?s pretty much it.
