(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 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.
