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 accoustically 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 Am, Em, F, C, G x2 (play intro once before each verse)

^AmThe future teaches you to ^Embe alone The ^Fpresent to be afraid and ^Ccold So ^Fif I can shoot rabbits ^CThen I can shoot fasc^Gists

Bullets for your brain today But we'll forget it all again Monuments put from pen to paper Turns me into a gutless wonder

And if you ^Dmtolerate this ^AmThen your children will be ^Gnext And if you ^Dmtolerate this ^AmThen your children will be ^Gnext Will be next, will be next, will be next

Gravity keeps my head down Or is it maybe shame At being so young And being so vain Holes in your head today But I'm a pacifist I've walked La Rambas but Not with real intent And if you tolerate this Then your children will be next And if you tolerate this Then your children will be next Will be next, will be next, will be next Guitar Solo Dm, Am, G, G x2 E------------------------------------------- B--------13-12------------------------------ G--12-14-------12---14----14---------------- D----------------12----15----14-----10--12-- A------------------------------------------- E-------------------------------------------

^DmAnd on the streets ^Amtonight An old man ^Gprays With ^Dmnewspaper cut^Amtings Of his glory ^Gdays

And if you tolerate this Then your children will be next And if you tolerate this Then your children will be next Will be next, will be next, will be next Outro Dm, Am, G, G x6 Dm, A, G
