Silhouettes of grey. Another glass of wine. Drink with eyes that shine. To days without that chill at morning. Long nights, time out of mind. Draw another goblet from the cask of forty-three. Crimson, misty mem'ry, hazy glimpse of me. Give me back my wonder. I've something more to give. I guess it doesn't matter. There's not much more to, not much more to live. Another foggy dawn. The mountain almost gone. Another doubtful fear. The road is not so clear. My soul grows ever weary, and the end is ever near. Draw another goblet from the cask of forty-three. Crimson, misty mem'ry, hazy glimpse of me. Give me back my wonder. I've something more to give. I guess it doesn't matter. There's not much more to, not much more to live. Tablature Contributors: This transcription was created by C. D. Bruce (cbruce@erols.com) in the format described below. This song was previously tabbed by Jimmy Pena (jimmy@walrus.com) and John Cabellaro (john@caballero.org). 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: Initial Submittal: xx-xx-xxxx Tablature Explanation: NT= Nashville Tuning is when the low E, A and D 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 =/ D.C. = "Da capo" - means "from the head", when you see these initials you go back to the beginning of the piece of music. D.S. = "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 (+). R.F. = repeat and fade rit. = "ritardando" - Gradually slowing in tempo; retarding. Other pertinent information: Tempo: 1/4 note = ??? Tuning: Standard [EADGBe].

Also provides effects information, e.g., distortion on or off, wha wha on, 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 Table: w = Whole note h = Half note H = Dotted half note q = Quarter note Q = Dotted Quarter note e = Eighth note E = Dotted eighth note s = Sixteenth note S = Dotted sixteenth note t = Thirty-second note T = Dotted thirty-second note 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 7 dashes, eighth notes are separated by 3 dashes, sixteenth notes 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 standard format shown above, the tab is expanded (usually only required for solos). Notes within parenthesis "()" are usually sustained notes which do not need to be struck again with the pick. Parenthesis may may be used for other purposes and are indicated as such.
