D#/Ebm
The dancer slows her frantic pace
 
 
In pain and desperation,
 
F#/Gb
Her aching limbs and downcast face
 
B
Aglow with perspiration
 
D#/Ebm
Stiff as wire, her lungs on fire,
 
 
With just the briefest pause
 
F#/Gb
The flooding through her memory,
 
B                              C#/Db
The echoes of old applause.
 
 
She limps across the floor
 
 
F#/Gb                  D#/Eb
And closes her bedroom door...

(This pattern follows through out the verse)
 
 
D#/Ebm
The writer stares with glassy eyes
 
 
Defies the empty page
 
F#/Gb
His beard is white, his face is lined
 
B
And streaked with tears of rage.
 
D#/Ebm
Thirty years ago, how the words would flow
 
 
With passion and precision,
 
F#/Gb
But now his mind is dark and dulled
 
B                                  C#/Db
By sickness and indecision
 
And he stares out the kitchen door
 
          F#/Gb                      D#/Eb
Where the sun will rise no more...
 
             D#/Eb  C#/Db  G#/Ab

D#/Eb            C#/Db
Some are born to move the world
 
   G#/Ab
To live their fantasies
 
D#/Eb               C#/Db
But most of us just dream about
 
    G#/Ab
The things we'd like to be
 
 
Em              D
Sadder still to watch it die
 
     C             G
Than never to have known it
 
B                      C#/Db
For you, the blind who once could see
 
B        C#/Db     B       C#/Db
The bell tolls for thee...
 
B        C#/Db        D#/Eb
The bell tolls for..

This is one of my favourite all time Rush song. Since I didn't find a full tab or chord
for this song I thought it was time for someone to do it.
It was a pleasure figuring out the tab and chords for this incredible song and I'll hope
enjoy it as much as I do!
