Time Stand Still - Rush (from Hold Your Fire) Transcription by Dan Newcombe (STDN@vm.marist.edu) (I know that this is not 100% accurate, but it is closer than nothing. 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----------------------

(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) 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.
