Progression:
[Riff 1] x2
[Riff 2a] x1 /w lyrics:
I know it's most unusual, to come before you so;
[Riff 2b] x1 /w lyrics:
But I've found an ancient miracle, I thought that you should know.
[Riff 3] x4 /w lyrics:
Listen to my music,
and hear what it can do.
There's something here as strong as life.
I know that it will reach you.
[Riff 1] x4 /w lyrics:
Yes we know, it's nothing new. It's just a waste of time.
We have no need for ancient ways. Our world is doing fine.
Another toy which helped destroy the elder race of man.
Forget about your silly whim, it doesn't fit the plan. No-how.
[Riff 2a] x1 /w lyrics:
I can't believe you're saying, these things just can't be true.
[Riff 2b] x1 /w lyrics:
Our world could use such beauty, just think what we might do.
[Riff 3] x4 /w lyrics:
Listen to my music,
and hear what it can do.
There's something here as strong as life.
I know that it will reach you.
[Riff 1] x4 /w lyrics:
Don't annoy us further, oh, we have our work to do.
Just think about the average. What use have they for you?
Another toy which helped destroy the elder race of man.
Forget about your silly whim, it doesn't fit the plan.
[Riff 4] x8 under [Guitar Solo] /w wah-wah and in the key of D
[Riff 5] x1
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official RUSH tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
