This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Rush - In The End

From the CD 'Fly By Night'

Written by Lee/Lifeson/Peart

Mercury/Polygram Records 822542-2

This song opens with an acoustic 12 string playing in D, however

there is some sort of electronic detuning which makes it appear to be in C.

I will tab out the intro in C but be aware that it is played with the same

fingering as Riff 2. Also, Riff 1 is played in the same position as Riff 4,

but with the same electronic detuning. There is phaser almost throughout

this song, but I will try to notate specifically where it appears.

Previously tabbed by Tony Zimmerman <aurora51@airnet.net>.

| = 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!)

[Intro] - strum freely (notes in ()'s are not played on every repeat)

C F Eb Bb C F

[Riff 1] - strum freely

Am F Am F G

[Riff 2] - I can usually hear a higher riff or single note run over this

riff; it could be another guitar playing the octave or notes

related the chord

D G F C D G (with phaser)

[Riff 3] - The last note of Riff 2 is not played when this riff follows it

[Riff 4] x1 /w lyrics:

You can take me for a little while.

You can take me you can make me smile in the end.

[Riff 2] x1

[Riff 2] x2 /w lyrics:

Well I can shine like you shine, it don't make me brighter.

But if I think like you think, it don't make my load much lighter.

[Riff 2] x1

(Now the phaser is used in an opposite fashion - for the chords and it is

left out from the single notes.)

[Riff 2] x1 much softer
