Manic Street Preachers - Motorcycle Emptiness Acoustic guitar tab
Tabbed by: classifiedmachine
This is based on a live, acoustic performance of the song by James Dean
Bradfield- there's an mp3 of it at http://members.aol.com/truthsteller/motorcycle.mp3
Personally I prefer the original version, but this is easy to play, and
can be used as the rhythym guitar line- it also works using powerchords

Lyrics:
Culture sucks down words
Itemise loathing and feed yourself smiles
Organise your safe tribal war
Hurt maim kill and enslave the ghetto
Each day living out a lie
Life sold cheaply forever, ever, ever
Under neon loneliness
Motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness
Motorcycle emptiness
Life lies a slow suicide
Orthodox dreams and symbolic myths
From feudal serf to spender
This wonderful world of purchase power
Just like lungs sucking on air
Survival's natural as sorrow, sorrow, sorrow
Under neon loneliness
Motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness
Motorcycle emptiness
All we want from you are the kicks you've given us
All we want from you are the kicks you've given us
All we want from you are the kicks you've given us
All we want from you are the kicks you've given us
Under neon loneliness
Motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness
Motorcycle emptiness
Drive away and it's the same
Everywhere death row, everyone's a victim
Your joys are counterfeit
This happiness corrupt political ***
Living life like a comatose
Ego loaded and swallow, swallow, swallow
Under neon loneliness
Motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness
Motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness
Motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness
Everlasting nothingness
