MAIN RIFF x2 (this time with wah completely pulled
back, and whammy/pitchshifter set

VERSE
Close the pits sanctify Roy Link an OBE,
Shareholding a piece of this ***ing country,
Fossilize make Yorkshire into a tourist resort,
And dream of new ways to humble the poor.
CHORUS
Gold against the soul,
White liberal hate slavery,
Needs Thai labour to clean his home,
Gold erodes,
Erodes the soul,
Erodes the soul.
MAIN RIFF x2 (for 2nd time, change whammy/pitchshifter
to harmonize 2 octaves higher)

Gold against the soul,
Working class cliches start here,
Either cloth caps or smack victims,
Gold destroyed,
Destroyed the soul,
Destroyed the soul.

That's it. What a song!
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official MANIC STREET PREACHERS tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
