The Analog Kid

Rush
Tab
★4.4(12)

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

Song

The initial transcription was done by Patrick M Ryan and with out his help

would not be possible. I made some changes in the chords and those I could not

name are in Tab form. I think this is pretty darn accurate. This is hoping you

already know the song. ;) If any one has any suggestion please contact Pat or myself:

A hot and windy August afternoon

G G G C C CB C D

Has the trees in constant motion

E E A

With a flash of silver leaves

E A

As they're rocking in the breeze

riff [A] (twice)

A D

The boy lies in the grass with one blade

A D

Stuck between his teeth

A D

A vague sensation quickens

A D

In his young and restless heart

G C

And a bright and nameless vision

G C

Has him longing to depart

{Riff A}

F F F F F G G G G G F

You move me --

You move me --

With your buildings and your eyes

Autumn woods and winter skies

You move me --

You move me --

Open sea and city lights

Busy streets and dizzy heights

ou call me --

ou call me --

G C

The fawn-eyed girl with sun-browned legs

G C

Dances on the edge of his dream

E A

And her voice rings in his ears

E A

Like the music of the spheres

A A G A G D

A A G A G D

A D

The boy lies in the grass, unmoving

A D

Staring at the sky

A D

His mother starts to call him

A D

As a hawk goes soaring by

G C

The boy pulls down his baseball cap

G C

And covers up his eyes

{Riff A} Hold G form like this:

Too many feelings                    7-----5------------5------------
Too many things on my mind           5-----3------------3------------

When I leave I don't know

What I'm hoping to find

When I leave I don't know

What I'm leaving behind...

[impossible solo] ;-)

It's better to make up your own solo anyway. :)
