Civilize me Compensate me Animate me Complicate me Elevate me Goddess in my garden Sister in my soul Angel in my armor Actress in my role Daughter of a demon lover Empress of the hidden face Priestess of the pagan mother Ancient queen of inner space Polarize me Sensitize me Criticize me Civilize me Compensate me Animate me Complicate me Elevate me Spirit in my psyche Double in my role Alter in my image Struggle for control Mistress of the dark unconscious Mermaid of the lunar sea Daughter of the great enchantress Sister to the boy inside of me Polarize me Sensitize me Criticize me Civilize me Compensate me Animate me Complicate me Elevate me Bridge: My counterpart -- my foolish heart Man must learn to rule his tender part A warming trend -- a gentle friend Man must build a fortress to defend Guitar solo A secret face -- a touch of grace Man must learn to give a little space A peaceful state -- a submissive trait Man must learn to gently dominate Polarize me Sensitize me Criticize me Civilize me Compensate me Animate me Complicate me Elevate me Tablature Contributors: This transcription was created by C. D. Bruce (cbruce@erols.com) in the format described below. It was previously transcribed by Richard J. Soto (lerxt@.......) and Rowen S. Poole (r.poole@genie.geis.com). Disclaimer: This tablature represents how the song is played as closely as reasonably achievable to the studio recording. The Counterparts ProShot and T4E Albany NY videos were used in preparation of this transcription. Alex Lifeson may have played it slightly differently. Revision History: Rev. 0: Submitted xx-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 <5> = 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 = varies Tuning: Standard [EADGBe]. Key signature: ? Not a clue! Effects: Overdrive/Distortion, Reverb, delay. Chord & Scale Chart Below: See tablature above Tablature Format: This Tablature is primarily based on the formats 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 or 4/4 <--Time Signature & Effects Line D <--Chord Line e e e q q e <--Note Duration Line (table below) e|---------2-----------------------|G<--High E string B|-------------3-------------------|T<--B string G|-----2---------------2-------0---|R<--G string D|(0)------------------------------|1<--D string A|---------------------------------| <--A string E|---------------------------------| <--E string ^=Space identifies guitar or keys 1 2 3 4 <--Quarter note beat locations 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 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 may be expanded (usually only required for solos).
