Manic Street Preachers: Let Robeson Sing
Standard tuning: E, A, D, G,
Tabbed by mmfan486

Nicky Wire plays something different nearly every time in the verses and
Choruses. I've tabbed the whole lot out in order so there's no point in
putting the order in; just follow the tab to play the whole song.

The notes in brackets are "grace notes," notes played very quickly before
playing the notes indicated in the tab. In context with the bass, these
can be played as hammer-ons, but it is important to remember that the

On the chorus, the 5 would be played first and then very quickly hammered
on to the 7.
