that was hidden beneath the cave, I found it. I brushed away the dust of the years, and picked it up, holding it reverently in my hands. I had no idea what it might be, but it was beautiful" "I learned to lay my fingers across the wires, and to turn the keys to make them sound differently. As I struck the wires with my other hand, I produced my first harmonious sounds, and soon my own music! How different it could be from the music of the Temples! I can't wait to tell the priests about it!..." Lyrics: What can this strange device be? When I touch it, it gives forth a sound It's got wires that vibrate and give music What can this thing be that I found? See how it sings like a sad heart And joyously screams out its pain Sounds that build high like a mountain Or notes that fall gently like rain. I can't wait to share this new wonder The people will all see its light Let them all make their own music The Priests praise my name on this night. 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 e|---------------------------------|---------------------------------| B|---------------------------------|---------------------------------| G|---------------------------------|---------------------------------| D|---------------------------------|---------------------------------| A|---------------------------------|---------------------------------| E|---------------------------------|---------------------------------| Tabulature Explanation: | = 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) 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; ritarding. 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. 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 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 "ASCI" tab look as much like tab in a music book, the notes are spaced out as accurately as possible. In the event the the notes will not fit into the standard format shown above the tab is expanded (usually required for solos). Note Duration Table: w = Whole note h = Half note H = Dotted half note q = Quarter note Q = Dotted Quater note e = Eigth note E = Dotted eigth note s = Sixteenth note S = Dotted sixteenth note t = Thirtysecond note T = Dotted thirtysecond note
