imagination spins Needles at your nerve ends Crawl like spiders on your skin Pou-Pou-Pou-Pounding in your temples And the surge of adrenaline Every muscle tense to fence the enemy within I'm not giving in to security under pressure I'm not missing out on the promise of adventure I'm not giving up on implausible dreams Experience to extremes Experience to extremes Suspicious-looking stranger Flashes you a dangerous grin Shadows across your window Was it only trees in the wind? Every breath a static charge A tongue that tastes like tin Steely-eyed outside to hide the enemy within I'm not giving in to security under pressure I'm not missing out on the promise of adventure I'm not giving up on implausible dreams Experience to extremes Experience to extremes To you - is it movement or is it action? It is contact or just reaction? And you - revolution, just resistance? Is it living, or just existence? Yeah, you - takes a little more persistence To get up and go the distance... I'm not giving in I'm not missing out I'm not giving up on implausible dreams Experience to extremes I'm not giving in to security under pressure I'm not missing out on the promise of adventure I'm not giving up on implausible dreams Experience to extremes Experience to extremes Hey Hey Hey Yeah! Tablature Contributors: This transcription was created by C. D. Bruce (cbruce@erols.com) in the format described below. It was previously transcribed by Jimmy Pena (no email available). Helpful comments from Richard J. Soto (lerxst@zeus.jersey.net) were also incorporated. Disclaimer: This tablature represents how the song is played as closely as reasonably achievable to the studio recording. The Grace Under Pressure Tour concert video was used in preparation of this transcription. Alex Lifeson may have played it slightly differently. Revision History: Rev. 0: Submitted 03-02-1999 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: E, Ab during bridge section. Effects: Overdrive/Distortion, Reverb, chorus, pitch shifter. Chord & Scale Chart Below: See tablature 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).
