I turn my back to the wind to catch my breath before I start off



                                              B

again              Driven on without a moment to spend       to

pass the moment with a drink and a friend.  I let my skin get



          A                              E

too thin, I'd like to pause, no matter what I



pretend             like some pilgram who learns to transcend.

as if each step were the end.



(Guitar Tacet)

"Time Stand Still, I'm not looking back but I want to

look around me now. Time Stand Still, See more of the

people and the places that surround me"



(Play riff 1 twice)

now      Time stand still

 Experience slips away   Experience slips away      Time Stand still



A A



(2nd verse same as the first as far as music goes.)

I turn my face to the sun, close my eyes, let my defences down,

all those wounds that I can't get unwound.  I let my past get

too fast, no time to pause, if I could slow it all down, like

some captain whose ship runs aground, I can wait till the tide

comes around.



Chorus:

 "Time stand still.  I'm not looking back, but I wanna look around

me now. Time stand still, see more of the people and the places

that surround me



(Play riff one)

A             F#                    E        B

 Make each impression a little bit stronger

  Freeze this moment a little bit longer



B           A     E      B          A     (Play riff 1)

(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)

Subject: TAB: Time Stand Still (Rush)



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.
