From the CD 'A Farewell to Kings'
Written by Lee/Lifeson/Peart
Mercury/Polygram Records 822546-2
This constitutes about 90% of the song (Texts of songs ). I re-worked the
introduction, but it is still almost the same as the original by David
Sandberg ([email protected]). I have added some new parts below.
Unfortunately, the entire middle section of the song (Texts of songs ) is missing in this
tab. It was just too difficult for me to transcribe. The intro is in the
key of D, then switches to A. It ends in D after the last set of lyrics.
| = not a standard bar line; just used to separate music
~ = vibrato or held note
h = hammer on
p = pull off
s = slide
b = bend string up to indicated pitch/fret
r = release bend to indicated string/fret
/ = slide up from infinity
\ = slide down into infinity
o \_
o / repeat sign (always look for these!)
[x35553] = fret box; this is a C chord - this is the same as standard
tablature, only turned on its side. Tilt your head clockwise to read.
