Soto Email: lerxst@zeus.jersey.net Copyright 1982 Mercury Records & 1982 Anthem Entertainment This tablature is almost entirely taken from my issue of Guitar-For The Practicing Musician Volume 4 No.7 June, 1987 issue. Original transcription by Kenn Chipkin. Alex used a telecaster in the studio and live for this song. I think controlled strumming is key in this song. (d=downstroke, u=upstroke.) Use a non-harsh distortion, chorus, and reverb. This is the first song I learned (and bled my fingers with) on an electric guitar. A Lifeson rhythm-playing classic! And it's one of my favorites. This song is obviously influenced by "The Police" during this era.
