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
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] F C G G Dm Am G G

[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 [Outro] F C G G Dm Am G G x3 F C G
