Rush - Tom Sawyer
From the CD 'Moving Pictures'
Written by Lee/Lifeson/Peart/Dubois
Mercury/Polygram Records 800048-2
Previously tabbed by James Bender (I think) .
The key is E. Some kind of effect during the solo. You tell me.
| = not a standard bar line; just used to separate music
~ = vibrato or held note
x = percussive note with no pitch; muted note
h = hammer on
p = pull off
s = slide
b = bend string up to indicated pitch/fret
r = release bend to indicated string/fret
/ = slide up from infinity
\ = slide down into infinity
[5] = artificial harmonic (use thumb to follow through the pick attack)
o \_
o / repeat sign (always look for these!)
[x35553] = fret box; this is a C chord - this is the same as standard
tablature, only turned on its side. Tilt your head clockwise to read.
Chord legend:
Csus2 : [x3x03x]
G/B : [x2003x]
A7sus4 : [x0203x]
