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)
Am Em
The future teaches you to be alone
F C
The present to be afraid and cold
F
So if I can shoot rabbits
C G
Then I can shoot fascists
Bullets for your brain today
But we'll forget it all again
Monuments put from pen to paper
Turns me into a gutless wonder
Dm
And if you tolerate this
Am G
Then your children will be next
Dm
And if you tolerate this
Am G
Then your children will be next
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

Dm Am
And on the streets tonight
G
An old man prays
Dm Am
With newspaper cuttings
G
Of his glory days
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
