Rush - The Enemy Within

        From the CD 'Grace Under Pressure'

        This song is in D. The guitar is chorused. This tab is not
entirely correct as there are many picking nuances throughout the song
and I didn't tab out each and every one. I just tabbed the main ones and
you are free to experiment with them.

| = not a standard bar line; just used to separate music
~ = vibrato or held note
s = slide
/ = slide up from infinity
\ = slide down into infinity
[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.
PM = Palm Mute; lightly touch the strings at the bridge with the edge of
        the fret hand

[Riff 2] x8 /w lyrics:

Things crawl in the darkness that imagination spins.
Needles at your nerve ends crawl like spiders on your skin.
Pou - pou - pou - pounding in your temples, and a surge of adrenalin.
Every muscle tense to fence the enemy within.

[Riff 3] x1

[Riff 3] x2 /w lyrics:

I'm not not giving in to security under pressure,
I'm not missing out on the promise of adventure,
I'm not giving up on implausible dreams,
Experience to extremes, experience to extremes...

[Guitar tacet] while keyboard and bass imply [Riff 2] x4

[Riff 2] x8 /w lyrics:

Suspicious looking stranger flashes you a dangerous grin.
Shadows across your window, was it only trees in the wind?
Every breath a static charge, a tongue that tastes like tin.
Steely-eyed outside to hide the enemy within.

[Riff 3] x1

[Riff 3] x2 /w lyrics:

I'm not not giving in to security under pressure,
I'm not missing out on the promise of adventure,
I'm not giving up on implausible dreams,
Experience to extremes, experience to extremes...

[Riff 4] x8

[Riff 1] x3

To you is it movement or is it action? Is it contact or just reaction?
And you, revolution, just resistance? Is it living or just existence?
Yeah you, it takes a little more persistance to get up and go the

 A  A
distance.

[Riff 3] x2 /w lyrics:

I'm not not giving in -
I'm not missing out -
I'm not giving up on implausible dreams,
Experience to extremes...

[Riff 3] x2 /w lyrics:

I'm not not giving in to security under pressure,
I'm not missing out on the promise of adventure,
I'm not giving up on implausible dreams,
                                        ___(some kind of weird chord here
                                       \/   can't make it out)
Experience to extremes, experience to extremes...
