(I know that this is not 100% accurate, but it is closer
than nothing. If you have corrections, please post them
in a nice civilized manner. No flames, they're a waste.)
To find out the chord rythyms, listen to the album.

(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 MajorE A augmentedA and BB chords, and I am too tired to
type them in)
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.
