Earthshine By:Rush

This is my frist tab so dont expect total perfection but i am
pretty sure it's right and if it isnt someone can fix it.

The first part is flamigo style bassing.

D |(5)5h7 7p5| |
A 999 777 999 7 999 7 999| |999 777 999 7 999 7 999|5h3h5
E | | |

Play top part x3 (play next part in traditional style)

G | | | |
D |(5) 5h7 7p5| | |
A 979(7)979| |979(7)979|5h3h5| Play this x2
E | | | |

Play Flamingo style

Gx2 |x2 |x2 |x2 |

A 7775757| 9997979|7775757|5553535| Do this whole process x2
E | | | |

G |
D 355533 3(3)3 55 3| 33553 3(3)3 55 3
A 5 7 | 33
E 5 |5 55 5

Do this entire part x2 (this is the chorus)
Then repeat everything then they do like a little breakdown type thing
into the guitar solo. This next part is flamingo style.

G | 7 x8|9 x8|7 x8|5 x8|
D | 7 |9 |7 |5 |
A 7| 5 |7 |5 |7 |
E | | | | | Play all of this x2

This is the guitar solo now live he uses the flamingo style but on the
album he uses traditional style i am goin to tab the album version if
you want the live version get rush in rio.

G |
D 55 |
A 7(7)7 5 5 0h5h7 7 5|
E |

Pretty much the same thing through the whole solo with some
minor changes but thats all.

Then repeat the same stuff throughout the rest of the like 20 seconds
left in the song and thats really it.
Now for some translations.
Flamingo Style=Geddy lee's style of using his fingers and going up
and down on the string.
Traditional Style=Regular playing with your finger.

(#)=ghost note
=slide down the neck
p=pull off
h=hameron.

That's all of it.This is a great song to play to and a great bassline.
I am currently working on ghost rider which will more than likely be more accurate.

I'm really lost with this song. I'm in LOVE with the beggining of this song. It sends chills through my spine thanks to the wonderdul works or Alex and Neil, but as for the lyrics I am utterly lost. Maybe-- possibly-- someone could do a paragraph by paragraph translation for me..? Please..?

No, this is actually about a double-reflection called earthshine, which occurs when sunlight bounces off the moon onto the earth, but the earth bounces it back right at the moon, so at night on the dark part of a crescent moon, you can see light that was bounced off the earth ^_^
