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
Am Em F C G (play intro once before each verse)
[Verse 1]
Am Em The future teaches you to be alone F C The present to be afraid and cold F So if I can shoot rabbits C G Then I can 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
[Chorus]
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
[Interlude]
Am Em F C G
[Verse 2]
Am Em Gravity keeps my head down F C Or is it maybe shame F At being so young C G And being so vain Am Em Holes in your head today F C But I'm a pacifist F I've walked La Rambas but C G Not with real intent
[Chorus]
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]

[Verse 3]
F C And on the streets tonight G An old man plays Dm Am With newspaper cuttings G Of his glory days
[Chorus]
F And if you tolerate this C 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
