Formerly tabbed by Rob Goggins and Jimmy Pena.

Well I had my own transcription of this song typed up but then saw 
this one here, which was very close to what I had except that they 
were missing a fill in the chorus. Otherwise, this tab was perfect... 
just like mine :) This is probably the easiest song to play that Rush 
has ever written, it shouldn't give you any trouble at all. Enjoy


Notes: play with clean tone, chorus, and reverb

Progression:

[Riff 1] x2

[Riff 1] x2 /w lyrics:

All of the seasons and all of the days.
All of the reasons why I felt this way.

[Riff 2] and [Riff 3] x1 /w lyrics:

So long, so long.

[Riff 1] x2 /w lyrics:

Then lost in that feeling, I looked in your eyes.
I noticed emotion and that you had cried.

[Riff 2] and [Riff 3] x1 /w lyrics:

For me, I can see.

Dm                     CaddD     G                   A
   What would touch me deeper? Tears that fall from eyes that only cry?
Dm                     CaddD        G                  [Fill 1]
   Would it touch you deeper than tears that fall from eyes that know why?

[Riff 1] x2
[Riff 2] and [Riff 3] x1

[Riff 1] x2 /w lyrics:

A lifetime of questions, tears on your cheek.
I tasted the answers and my body was weak -

[Riff 2] and [Riff 3] x1 /w lyrics:

For you, the truth.

Dm                     CaddD     G                   A
   What would touch me deeper? Tears that fall from eyes that only cry?
Dm                     CaddD        G                  [Fill 1]
   Would it touch you deeper than tears that fall from eyes that know why?
