>Note: You'll need a CAPO on 3rd fret to play the accoustic parts of the
>song. The CAPO is not used by Martin Barre, BUT if you want to play this
>song alone (I guess some of you will!), you can easyly figure out that
>this is possible, even in the solo (remember to play the first few notes
>on the B string, then).
>
>I tryed to contact the previous persons who made efforts and contributions
>to this song, but got an error from their mail servers... Let me know what
>you thing you guys!!!

>Some of these notes are power chords, but I'll leave this up to you :)

>Tablature Explanation:
>NT = Nashville Tuning is when the low E, A, D & G strings are replaced
>with
> lighter gauge strings and tuned one octave higher than normal.
>| = bar separating measures
>~ = vibrato
>x = percussive note with no pitch; muted note
>. = staccato; mute the note immediately after striking it
>h = hammer
>p = pull
>s = slide (used when \ or / don't fit)
>^ = bend string up to indicated pitch/fret shown in parenthesis ()
>r = release bend (string/fret may be indicated)
>t = fret board tap (not many of these with Rush)
>/ = slide up
>\ = slide down
>x/ = pick slide up
>x\ = pick slide down
> = natural harmonic (lightly touch the string at fret indicated)
>[5] = artificial harmonic (use thumb to follow through the pick attack)
>(5) = note sustained from previous measure
>o =\ repeat sign
>o =/
>DC = "Da capo" - means "from the head", when you see these initials
> you go back to the beginning of the piece of music.
>DS = "Dal segno" - means "from the sign", go back in the tabulature
> only as far as the (%) sign.
>Coda = A passage at the end of a movement or composition that brings
> it to a formal close.
>Al
>Coda = means "to the tail", tells you that you must go to the end
> section which starts with the Coda sign (+).
>RF = repeat and fade
>rit = "ritardando" - Gradually slowing in tempo; retarding.
>

>This Tablature is based on the format indicated below.

>Effects/Misc Line: Provides effects information, number of repeats, etc.
>
>Chord Line: Provides the chord name for the chords used in the
> tab below.
>
>Note Duration Line: Provides the "value" of each note, e.g., whole,
> half, quarter, etc.
>
>Note Duration Designator Table:
> w = Whole note h = Half note
> q = Quarter note H = Dotted half note
> Q = Dotted Quarter note s = Sixteenth note
> e = Eighth note S = Dotted sixteenth note
> E = Dotted eighth note + = Duration exceeds 2 measures
> t = Thirty-second note
> T = Dotted thirty-second note
>
> Notes with two designations immediately adjacent to each other
> have durations added (e.g., he = half note + eigth note, etc.)
>
>String lines: Represent the strings of a guitar. The tab is laid
> out as if you placed a right handed guitar on your
> lap, string side up. A vertical line character "|"
> represents a bar between measures. A dash "-" represents
> each string. The numbers indicate which fret should
> be fingered to sound the note. The first space after
> every bar is a blank space that is almost never used.
> Quarter notes are separated by 3 dashes, eighth notes
> are separated by 1 dash. In an effort to make the
> ASCII tab look as much like tab in a music book, the
> notes are spaced out as accurately as possible. In the
> event the notes will not fit into the format shown above,
> the tab will be expanded (usually only required for
> solos).
