Rush: The Big Money From the album Power Windows (Mercury Records) Copyright 1985 Core Music Publishing Music by Lee and Lifeson Lyrics by Peart Comments/corrections to Rich Soto Transcribed by: Richard J. Soto Email: lerxst@zeus.jersey.net For this song Alex has his guitar tuned up a full step. From top to bottom ( low to high ): F#, B, E, A, C#, F#. This tablature is transcribed according to this alternative raised tuning. In order to play Riff-C cleanly & correctly, finger as a normally tuned G chord with the index finger on the 3rd fret and not the 2nd. -0-----------------------------------|-0------------------------------------|- -2-----------------7^-v-v------------|-2-----------------7^-v-v-------------|- -2-----------------7^-v-v------------|-2-----------------7^-v-v-------------|- -2------------------------0h3h5------|-2------------------------0h3h5-------|- -0-----------------------------5\3---|-0------------------------------5\3---|- -------------------------------------|--------------------------------------|- B H bar2x B H bar2x -0-----------------------------------|-0--------------------------3--------||- -2-----------------7^-v-v------------|-2-----------------7^-v-v---3--------||- -2-----------------7^-v-v------------|-2----1414141414\--7^-v-v---5--------||- -2------------------------0h3h5------|-2----1414141414\-----------5--------||- -0---------0-3-0---------------5\3---|-0----1212121212\-----------3--------||- -------0-3---------------------------|----------------------------3--------||- B H bar2x B fast strum H bar2x -------------------------|-----3------3-||------------------------------------ -------------------------|-----3------3-||------------------------------------ -------------------------|-----0------0-||------------------------------------ -------------------------|-0-0----------||------------------------------------ -5-5-3-5-3-3-3-0---------|--------3-3---||------------------------------------ -----------------3-3-3-3-|--------------||------------------------------------ (Riff-A Mute & Play 8x) -0-------0-------1-------3--------||-0-------3-------0-------3--2-----------|- -3-------1-------1-------3--------||-2-------3-------1-------3--3-----------|- -2-------0-------2-------0--------||-2-------0-------0-------0--2-----------|- -0-------2-------3-------0--------||-2-------0-------2-------0--0-----------|- -x-------3-------3-------2--------||-0-------2-------3-------2--x-----------|- -----------------1-------3--------||---------3---------------3--------------|- E D G A (Repeat) B A D A E (Repeat) -----------|--------------------------|-----3------3------3-||---------------- -----------|--------------------------|-----3------3------3-||---------------- -----------|--------------------------|-----0------0------0-||---------------- -----------|---10--10--10--10--10--10-|-0-0-----------------||---------------- -----------|-10--10---8---8---7---7---|--------3-3----------||---------------- -----------|--------------------------|---------------3-3---||---------------- (Riff-A 6x) (Riff-B Play 4x) (Riff-C) -0-------0-------1-------3--------|-0-------0-------1-----------------------|- -3-------1-------1-------3--------|-3-------1-------1-----------------------|- -2-------0-------2-------0--------|-2-------0-------2-------12--------------|- -0-------2-------3-------0--------|-0-------2-------3-------12--------------|- -x-------3-------3-------2--------|-x-------3-------3-------10--------------|- -----------------1-------3--------|-----------------1-------10--------------|- E D G A E D G (Fast Strum 8X) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -2-2-2-2-2-2-2---------------------x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x/-------------------- -2-2-2-2-2-2-2---5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5--10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10/-------------------- -0-0-0-0-0-0-0---5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5--10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10/-------------------- ---------------0-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3---8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8/-------------------- (Light mute-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) ------------------------0-------3-------0-------3--2-||----------------------- ------------------------2-------3-------1-------3--3-||----------------------- --x--x--x--x--x--x--x---2-------0-------0-------0--2-||----------------------- -12-12-12-12-12-12-12---2-------0-------2-------0--0-||----------------------- -12-12-12-12-12-12-12---0-------2-------3-------2--x-||----------------------- -10-10-10-10-10-10-10-----------3---------------3----||----------------------- B A D A E -----------|-------------------------------------------|----------|-0--0----|- -----------|-------------------------------------------|----------|-3--1----|- -----------|-------------------------------------------|----------|-2--0----|- -----------|-------------------------------------------|----------|-0--2----|- -----------|-------------------------------------------|----------|----3----|- -----------|-------------------------------------------|----------|---------|- (Riff-A 6x)(Riff-B 4x & Omit last note on the 4th play)(Riff-C 3x) .
