"Vital Signs"

Music: Lee/Lifeson

Lyrics: Peart

off of Moving Pictures

tabbed by: J-Punk (kalwin@seidata.com)

Notes:

This is kind of 2 guitars for 1. Guitar 1 (the top 3 strings) is

clean with chorusing. Guitar 2 (the bottom 3 strings) is distorted.

I supplied the counting (this one's tricky).

INTRO

(fade in) intro fill

1 2 3 4 1(2)+ + + 1 2 (3,4)

e:---8-8-8-8--|-8---6-3-4-|-4-1------|

Play verse x5 (fill to prechorus 5th x, I can't figure it out)

Gtr 2 can use X688XX and X577XX

for (11)(13)(13)XXX and (10)(12)(12)XXX

for tab sake, I used the high chords

Play Prechorus some more,then play the intro fill

then play prechorus fill,chorus, & intro riff

go back to verse & repeat song w/variations

OUTRO

1 1 1 1 3

e:--8-|-6-|-4-|-4-6--|

G:--8-|-7-|-5-|-5-7--|

D:-10-|-8-|-6-|-6-8--|

I'm tired and I don't have my cd right now, so this is not a

complete tab, but it's better than nothing. As always, send

corrections,comments,requests,etc. to J-Punk (kalwin@seidata.com).
