[Riff 1] x2 w/ lyrics:

We've taken care of everything, the words you read and the songs you

It's one for all and all for one. We work together, common sons.
Never need to wonder how or why.

[Riff 2] x4 w/ lyrics:

We are the priests of the temples of Syrinx.
Our great computers fill the hallowed halls.
We are the priests of the temples of Syrinx.
All the gifts of life are held within our walls.

Look around this world we've made, equality our stock in trade, come and
join the brotherhood of man.
Oh what a nice, contented world, let the banners be unfurled. Hold the
red star proudly high in hand.

[Riff 2] x4 w/ lyrics:

We are the priests of the temples of Syrinx.

Rush - 2112

From the CD '2112'
Written by Lee/Lifeson/Peart
Mercury/Polygram Records 822545-2

| = not a standard bar line; just used to separate music
~ = vibrato or held note
. = staccato; mute the note immediately after striking it
h = hammer on
p = pull off
s = slide
b = bend string up to indicated pitch/fret
r = release bend to indicated string/fret
tr = trill; play the note(s) indicated rapidly and repeatedly (same thing
as tremolo picking)
/ = slide up from infinity
\ = slide down into infinity
[5] = artificial harmonic (use thumb to follow through the pick attack)
o \_
o / repeat sign (always look for these!)
[x35553] = fret box; this is a C chord - this is the same as standard
tablature, only turned on its side. Tilt your head clockwise to read.
+ = bass position for wah-wah pedal (depressed fully back)
o = treble position for wah-wah pedal (depressed fully forward)
x\ _
x\ pick slide; slide the edge of the pick along the strings

This Rush song is the culmination of many hours of work. It is
not 100% complete, but every effort has been made to include as much as
possible. Part IV does not include the solo. This is so that you can
experiment :). The key is D. Part VI now includes the solo! I worked it out
but there are still some omissions because the wah-wah makes the notes
unclear. It sounds easy enough to tab, so eventually I will do it. Part VII
does not include the solo either. Crank up the wah-wah pedal and go wild.
The key is E. Now I can claim that this work is original, since the solo I
took from the other tab was (partially) wrong and I replaced it with what I
hope is the correct version. Previous versions (part I & II) were done by
Blake Butterworth (last known address: butt...@cs.tulane.edu) and also Ian
Schmidt (last known address: irs...@iastate.edu). I have tried contacting
Ian, but without success. Joost de Moel <j.m...@tip.nl> tabbed Discovery
(part III) and I have corrected it and incorporated the free time section
into this tab. There are many other corrections.

[Riff 1] x2 /w lyrics:

I wandered home through silent streets, and fell into a fitful sleep.
Escape to realms beyond the night. Dream, can't you show me the light?

[Riff 2] x2 /w lyrics:

I stand atop a spiral stair; an oracle confronts me there.
He leads me on lightyears away, through astral nights, galactic days.

[Riff 3] x2 /w lyrics:

I see the work of gifted hands that grace the strange and wonderous land.
I see the hands of man arise with hungry mind and open eyes.

[Riff 2] x2 /w lyrics:

They left our planets long ago. The elder race still learn and grow.
Their power grows with purpose strong to claim the home where they belong;

[Riff 4] x1

home to tear the Temples down, home to change....

Does anyone have the tab for the piece following "Temples of Syrinx"?
I think it's called "The Oracle." It's when he finds the guitar and
strums it with the waterfall in the background.
