If you have corrections, please post them in a nice civilized manner. No flames, they're a waste.) To find out the chord rythyms, listen to the album. Intro: (Riff 1) (Clean tone, with a bit of delay and maybe chorus) (Play 3 times) ------------------------- --------------------2-2-- ------4-----4-------2-2-- ----4-----4---------2-2-- --------7------4-0--0-0-- --7---------------------- C# A E I turn my back to the wind to catch my breath before I start off B again Driven on without a moment to spend to ---0------------------------------------------------------------- ---0----------------------------------------------4-5^4--5^4--5^4 ---2----------------------------------------------4---4----4----4 ---2----------------------------------------------4---4----4----4 ---1-------------------------------0--2--4--2-------------------- ---0------------------0---2---4---------------------------------- B E A C# pass the moment with a drink and a friend.

(Guitar Tacet) "Time Stand Still, I'm not looking back but I want to look around me now.

I turn my face to the sun, close my eyes, let my defences down, all those wounds that I can't get unwound. I let my past get too fast, no time to pause, if I could slow it all down, like some captain whose ship runs aground, I can wait till the tide comes around. Chorus: "Time stand still. I'm not looking back, but I wanna look around me now. Time stand still, see more of the people and the places that surround me (Play riff one) now E A B Freeze this moment a little bit longer -0-----0----- ---4-----4--- -----4-----4- ------------- ------------- ------------- A F# E B Make each impression a little bit stronger E A B Freeze this moment a little bit longer B A E B A (Play riff 1) The innocence slips away Innocence slips away Time Stand still (Play riff one) TIME STAND STILL (Play riff 5 10 times) Riff 5 ---------------------------------------------- ----2-4-2-4/5-4-2-4-2------------------------- -4-------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------- A B ??? (Play riff 5 4 times) (The rest of the song is taken from the parts that come after the slow part of the chorus. They are easy to figure out, mostly E A and B chords, and I am too tired to type them in) From: lerxt@teleport.com (Phil Hodges) Subject: TAB: Time Stand Still (Rush) I got the TAB for "Time Stand Still" off the ftp site and noticed that the intro was heinously incorrect. I realize the person who wrote it said it wasn't 100% correct, and I am posting the correction in a civilized manner :) I'll post more Rush TAB if there are enough people interested. There's a pretty good-size collection going at the site, and most of it's correct that I've seen, and I want to add to it as much as I can. Alex Lifeson is my favorite guitarist, and I know how to play most of Rush's tunes.
