| Then play the Chorus until fade |
| NT = Nashville Tuning is when the low E, A, D & G strings are replaced |
| lighter gauge strings and tuned one octave higher than normal. |
| | = bar separating measures |
| x = percussive note with no pitch; muted note |
| . = staccato; mute the note immediately after striking it |
| 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) |
| <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 |
| 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 |
| Coda = means "to the tail", tells you that you must go to the end |
| section which starts with the Coda sign (+). |
| rit = "ritardando" - Gradually slowing in tempo; retarding. |
| Other pertinent information: |
| Tuning: Standard (EADGBe). |
| Chord Chart Below for major chords |
| 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: Provides effects information, number of repeats, etc. |
| Chord Line: Provides the chord name for the chords used in the |
| Note Duration Line: Provides the "value" of each note, e.g., whole, |
| 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 = 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 |
