>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!!!

>Intro:

>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.

>

>Other pertinent information:

> Tuning: Standard [EADGBe].

>Tablature Format:

>

>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).
