Words by PeartMusic by Lee and Lifeson

Tab v2.01 2002-05-21
The bass synth which opens the song continues and plays throughout the verses
and they seem to be various arpeggiations.
It's buried too far in the mix & too random to tab completely so only the
essential opening 4 measures are tabbed here.
A playable PowerTab version of this tab is available for download online at
