    Verse:
  • Intro until fade:
     
    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
    <5> = 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].
  • Key signature:
    Effects:
    Chord Chart Below for major chords
  •  
    Tablature Format:
     
  • This Tablature is based on the format indicated below.
     
    1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 <--Quarter note beat locations
  • 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 <--Eighth note beat locations
    <--Effects/Misc Line
    D C G/B <--Chord Line
  • e e e q q e e e e q e e e <--Note Duration Line (table below)
    |-----2-----------|-----------------| <--High E string
    |-------3---------|-----------------| <--B string
  • |---2-------2---0-|-----0-------0---| <--G string
    |-0---------------|---2-------0---0-| <--D string
    |-----------------|-3-----2---------| <--A string
  • |-----------------|-----------------| <--E string
     
    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).
