Tom: A5

Intro:  A5   E5   F5   C5   X2

A5                        E5
The future teaches you to be alone
    F5                                C5
The present to be afraid and cold
       F5                           C5
'So if I can shoot rabbits then I can
      G5
shoot fascists'


A5               E5
Bullets for your brain today
    F5                            C5
But we'll forget it all again
          F5
Monuments put from pen to paper
C5                               G5
Turns me into a gutless wonder
           D5
And if you tolerate this
A5                                 G5
then your children will be next
           D5
And if you tolerate this
A5                                 G5
then your children will be next,

will be next, will be next, will be next

Solo:  
A5      E5      F5       C5

A5            E5
Gravity keeps my head down
F5              C5
Or is it maybe shame
   F5                  C5        G5
At being so young and being so vain


A5            E5
Holes in your head today
    F5     C5
but I'm a pascifist
     F5
I've walked La Ramblas
C5                          G5
but not with real intent


           D5
And if you tolerate this
A5                         G5
then your children will be next
            D5
And if you tolerate this
A5                                 G5
then your children will be next,

will be next, will be next, will be next

Solo: 
D5    A5    G5   X2

     D5            A5
'And on the street tonight-
           G5
An old man plays
     D5                 A5           G5
with newspaper cuttings of his glory days


           D5
And if you tolerate this
A5                         G5
Then your children will be next
           D5
And if you tolerate this
A5                                 G5
Then your children will be next,
Will be next, will be next, will be next
