Manic Street Preachers – La Tristesse Durera (Guitar)

G    C            G       C
Life   has been unfaithful

G          C              G    C
And it all promised so so much

G    C     G    C
I     am a relic

G           C         G    C
I am just a petrified cry

C                          Eb            G   C   G   C
Wheeled out once a year, a cenotaph souvenir

C                          Eb
The applause nails down my silence

      G      C   G    C
La tristesse   durera

            G  C       G  C
Scream to a sigh, to a sigh

      G      C   G    C
La tristesse   durera

            G  C       G  C   D
Scream to a sigh, to a sigh

G   C    G       C
I    see liberals

G           C              G   C
I am just a fashion accessory

G       C     G         C
People   send postcards

G            C                G    C
And they all hope I’m feeling well

C                   Eb            G    C  G  C
I retreat into self-pity, it's so easy

C                       Eb
Where they patronise my misery

      G       C   G    C
La tristesse    durera

            G  C       G  C
Scream to a sigh, to a sigh

      G       C   G    C
La tristesse    durera

            G  C       G  C    D
Scream to a sigh, to a sigh

      G      C   G    C
La tristesse   durera

            G  C       G  C
Scream to a sigh, to a sigh

      G      C   G    C
La tristesse   durera

            G  C       G  C
Scream to a sigh, to a sigh

          G     C
I sold my medal

          G    C
It paid a bill

            G      C
It sells at market stalls

          G      C
Parades Milan catwalks

        G       C            G   C
Oh, the sadness   will never go

           G   C
Will never go away

          G       C
Baby it's here to stay

      G      C   G    C
La tristesse   durera

            G  C       G  C
Scream to a sigh, to a sigh
