A note about the "Taurus Pedal 'Sweep' sound" - this is actually an analogsynth (probably an Oberheim) playing octaves. The resonance of the synth isset high and filter is set to sweep from top to bottom. Play the lowest Eonthe synth plus an octave above simultaneously and you'll get this sound.Live, Alex triggers this sound with his pedals. While it's probably just asampled sound now, in the good old days before MIDI, Alex had Moog Tauruspedals interfaced with an Oberheim synth off-stage. The Taurus pedals

didn'tactually make this sound but rather doubled it with a thick bass pedal tone(or else the Taurus pedal settings would have had to be changed throughouttheset and I don't believe that the pedals were programmable).

Lyrics

A modern-day warriorMean mean stride,Today's Tom SawyerMean mean pride.

Though his mind is not for rent,Don't put him down as arrogant.His reserve, a quiet defense,Riding out the day's events.The river.

And what you say about his companyIs what you say about society.Catch the mist, catch the mythCatch the mystery, catch the drift.

The world is, the world is,

Love and life are deep,Maybe as his eyes are wide.

Today's Tom Sawyer,He gets high on you,And the space he invadesHe gets by on you.

Guitar Solo


9/12

No, his mind is not for rentTo any god or government.Always hopeful, yet discontent,He knows changes aren't permanent,But change is.

And what you say about his companyIs what you say about society.Catch the witness, catch the wit,Catch the spirit, catch the spit.

The world is, the world is,Love and life are deep,Maybe as his skies are wide.

Exit the warrior,Today's Tom Sawyer,He gets high on you,And the energy you trade,He gets right on to the friction of the day.

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~ = vibratox = percussive note with no pitch; muted note. = staccato; mute the note immediately after striking ith = hammerp = pulls = 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 downx/ = pick slide upx\ = pick slide down = 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 measureo =\ repeat signo =/

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.Coda = A passage at the end of a movement or composition that brings it to a formal close.AlCoda = means "to the tail", tells you that you must go to the end section which starts with the Coda sign (+).RF = repeat and faderit = "ritardando" - Gradually slowing in tempo; retarding.

Other pertinent information:

Tempo: 1/4 note = ??? Tuning: Standard [EADGBe]. Key signature: Effects: Overdrive, Chorus, Short Delay

Tablature Format:

This Tablature is based on the format indicated below.

1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4


12/12

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 will be expanded (usually only required for solos).
