Lyrics

Ten score years ago

Defeat the kingly foe

A wondrous dream came into being

Tame the trackless waste

No virgin land left chaste

All shining eyes but never seeing

Beneath the noble bird

Between the proudest words

Behind the beauty cracks appear

Once with hands held high

They sang out to the sky

Why do their shadows bow in fear

Watch the cities rise

Another ship arrives

Earth's melting pot, and ever growing

Fantastic Dreams come true

Inventing something new

The greatest minds, but never knowing

Beneath the noble bird

Between the proudest words

Behind the beauty cracks appear

Once with hands held high

They sang out to the sky

Why do their shadows bow in fear

Solo

The guns replace the plow

Facades are tarnished now

The principles have been betrayed

The dreams gone stale

But still let hope prevail

History's debt won't be repaid

Beneath the noble bird

Between the proudest words

Behind the beauty cracks appear

Once with hands held high

They sang out to the sky

Why do their shadows bow in fear

This transcription was created by C. D. Bruce (cbruce@erols.com)

in the format described below. It was previously transcribed by

Bob Anderson (no email avialable). Other comments from Doug

Du Plessis and Sean Carroll (xamolleh@ix.netcom.com) have also

been incorporated.

Disclaimer:

This tablature represents how the song is played as closely as reasonably

achievable to the studio recording. Alex Lifeson may have played it

slightly differently.

Revision History:

Rev. 1: Submitted 04-xx-1999

Tablature Explanation:

(+) = This symbol stands for "Coda". A passage at the end of a movement

or composition that brings it to a formal close.

AC = "Al coda" - means "to the tail", tells you that you must go

to the end section which starts with the Coda sign (+).

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.

(.) = Fermata, the prolongation of a tone, chord, or rest beyond

its indicated time value.

RF = repeat and fade

Rit = "Ritardando" - Gradually slowing in tempo; retarding.

~ = vibrato

. = staccato; mute the note immediately after striking it

^ = bend string up to indicated pitch/fret shown in parenthesis ()

h = hammer

p = pull

r = release bend (string/fret may be indicated)

s = slide (used when back slash "" or forward slash "/" don't fit)

t = fret board tap (not many of these with Rush)

u = unison bend, the lower note is bent to achieve unison with the

higher note

x = percussive note with no pitch or a muted note

| = bar separating measures

/ = slide up the neck towards the bridge

\ = slide down the neck towards the nut

x/ = pick slide up

x\ = pick slide down

= natural harmonic (lightly touch the string above the fret

indicated)

[5] = artificial harmonic (use thumb to follow through the pick attack)

o =\ repeat sign

o =/

LT = "Lifeson Tuning" or Modified Nashville Tuning. When the low E, A,

and D strings (usually on a 6 string acoustic) are replaced with

lighter gauge strings and tuned one octave higher than normal

(different from Nashville tuning which would also include the G

string being tuned one octave higher).

Other pertinent information:

Tempo: 1/4 note = 221

Tuning: Standard [EADGBe].

Key signature: D

Effects: Overdrive/Distortion, delay

Chord & Scale Chart Below: See tablature

This Tablature is primarily based on the formats indicated below.
