Let Robeson Sing chords - Manic Street Preachers

Guitar chords with lyrics

Let Robeson Sing
by Nicky Wire
from the album 'Know Your Enemy'
Tabbed by Brian (gandalfmithrandir@supanet.com)

I worked it out on my acoustic, and I think the song works best that way,
although I saw James play it using his Les Paul on 'Later..'.  If you do play
it electric, use the bridge pickup, through a clean channel.
This is the best song on the new album I think, although 'Ocean Spray' runs it
close.	It's really simple: based on a D MajorD chord progression.  This is my first
tab that I've posted, so any problems, please email me.

Main riff:
     D MajorD                A augmentedA
E:--2-2-3-2-0-----0-------------
B:--3-----------3--2-2-3-2-0--
G:--2--------------2------------2
D:--0--------------2-------------
A:-----------------0-------------
E:-----------------------------

Verse


Chorus, strange speech bit over the main riff, then chorus again


RIFF:
Sing it loud, sing it proud, I will be heard, I will be found
Sing it loud, sing it proud, I will be heard, I will be found.

End on D.

Try using Cadd9Cadd9 occassionally instead of C, either seems to work, and it gives
the song a bit of variety.
