/ Rush / 2112 (1976) / The Twilight Zone guitar tab

Rush: The Twilight Zone
From the album 2112 (Mercury Records)
Copyright 1976 Core Music Publishing
Music by Lee and Lifeson
Lyrics by Peart

I think the quality of this tab has improved, but I am still
disappointed by the format. I was able to make the words fit along
with the verses and chorus rather well, but the tab has quadrupled in
size, and there is some kind of triple meter during the verses, which
made it hard to notate the rhythm. I just left off the rhythm notation,
wherever I couldn't figure it out. This tab is one of those that doesn't
even really need to be tabbed out like this, so maybe I just wasted
four hours doing this, when I only hear one change worth notating in
an additional riff (see the very last note before the [guitar solo]
section). Back to the drawing board... *shrug*
