Manic Street Preachers - If You Tolerate This Your Children guitar tab
IF YOU TOLERATE THIS YOUR CHILDREN WILL BE NEXT
[Intro] Am Em F C [X2]
Am Em
The future teaches you to be alone
F C
The present to be afraid and cold
F C
'So if I can shoot rabbits then I can
G
shoot fascists'
Am Em
Bullets for your brain today
F C
But we'll forget it all again
F
Monuments put from pen to paper
C G
Turns me into a gutless wonder
Dm
And if you tolerate this
Am G
then your children will be next
Dm
And if you tolerate this
Am G
then your children will be next,
will be next, will be next, will be next
Am Em F C
Am Em
Gravity keeps my head down
F C
Or is it maybe shame
F C G
At being so young and being so vain
Am Em
Holes in your head today
F C
but I'm a pascifist
F
I've walked La Ramblas
C G
but not with real intent
Dm
And if you tolerate this
Am G
then your children will be next
Dm
And if you tolerate this
Am G
then your children will be next,
will be next, will be next, will be next
[Solo] Dm Am G [X2]
Dm Am
'And on the street tonight-
G
An old man plays
Dm Am G
with newspaper cuttings of his glory days
Dm
And if you tolerate this
Am G
then your children will be next
Dm
And if you tolerate this
Am G
then your children will be next,
will be next, will be next, will be next
