G9->F#9/G->G9 G Eb/G Last night, in the moments my thoughts were adrift G And coasting a terrace, approaching a rift Eb/G Through which I could spy several glimpses beneath F/A Of a darkness the light from above could not reach
Eb/GI spied wings of reason, herself taking flight F/A And upon yonder precipice saw her alight Eb/G And glared back at me one last look of dismay G As if she were the last one she thought I’d betray
(Second verse same chords as the first) So much the better I said to myself And drawing quite close to the top of the shelf I struggled with destiny upon the ledge And gasped when defeated he slipped off the edge
And silence contagious in moments like these Consume me and strengthen my will to appease The passion that sparked me one terrible night And shocked and persuaded my soul to ignite

== Bass Tablature ==
Rift
From: David Lionelli (LIONELLI_DAV@CSUSYS.CTSTATEU.EDU)
I have edited down the tab to the necessary parts. I didn’t want to have to
type the same thing fourteen trillion times, so I think that once you play this
you can figure it out. Basically, the notation doesn’t coincide time wise with
the tab (he plays the first part more than three times…)
Intro/Verse
G|-----0-----------0-----------0-----------0-----------0-----------0-------| D|---0---0-0-----0---0-0-----0---0-0-----1---1-1-----1---1-1-----1---1-1---| A|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|-3---------3-3---------3-3---------3-3---------3-3---------3-3---------3-|
G|-----2-----------2-----------0-----------0-------| D|---3---3-3-----3---3-3-----1---1-1-----1---1-1---| A|-0---------0-0---------0-------------------------| (x2) E|-------------------------3---------3-3---------3-|
So much…
G|-----------------------0-----------0-------| D|-3-3-0---------------0---0-0-----0---0-0---| A|-------4-3-2-------------------------------| E|-------------0-1-2-3---------3-3---------3-|
And that’s how the verses are basically set up. The first guitar solo starts
off with the verse, and goes all the way through once, then keeps going with
this:
G|----3-----------3---------3---3---3---3-| |-------------------------| D|—3---3-3-----3---3-3---1---1---1---1---|(x2) |-----6-----------6-------| A|1---------1-1---------1-----------------|into: |---6---6-6-----6---6-6---| E|----------------------------------------| |-4---------4-4---------4-| Repeat this once more, and continue on with this:
G|-0---0---4---2---0----------0--------------------------------------------| D|---0---0---4---2---0----4-0---4-----4---4---------------6---4-3---2/-----| A|----------------------4---------4-3---2-----6---6-5---4---2-----0--------| E|------------------------------------------5---4-----4----------------0---|
Piano solo…
G|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---5---5---5-----0-1-2---2---2---2---------5---5---5---5---7---7---7---7-| A|-3---3---3---3-3-------2---2---2---0-1-2-3---3---3---3---5---5---5---5---| E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-----------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---5---5---5---5---7---7---7------------------------------5---5---5---5| A|-3---3---3---3---5---5---5---5---------/7-5-------0-1-2-3---3---3---3—| E|-------------------------------0-1-2-3------7-5-3----------------------|
G|-----------------------------------------------------------------------| D|-5---5---5---5-----5---5---5---5-----3-----------2---2---6---4---2-----| A|---5---5---5---5-3---3---3---3-----3---3---3---3---2---2---6---4---2---| E|---------------------------------1-------1---1-------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------| D|---2---3-2-----1---1---1-0---------3-------2-------| A|-1---2-----1-1---0-----------1---1-----6-------4---| E|---------------------3-----1---1-----4---4---4-----|
Guitar solo 2…
G|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---2---2---2-----------6---6---6-----------2---2---2---2---4---4---4---4-| A|-0---0---0---0-0-2-3-4---4---4---4-------0---0---0---0---2---2---2---2---| E|-----------------------------------2-3-4---------------------------------|
G|-----------------------------------4---4---4---4-----------------| D|---2---2---2---2---4---4---4---4-2---2---2---2-----2---2---2---2-| A|-0---0---0---0---2---2---2---2-------------------0---0---0---0---| E|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---4---4---4---4---------------------7-------7-------| D|-2---2---2---2-----2---2---2---2-0-7---7-0-7---4-----| A|-----------------0---0---0---0-----------------------| E|-----------------------------------------------------|
That is the end of the solo section. It may look crazy, but it isn’t all that
bad once you get the feel of it. Remember also, I didn’t try to figure out all
of Mike’s little ad-libs; this is not the exact bassline, just a basis of what
he does. If you don’t like it… tough.
Verse transition:
G|-----6-----------6-----------6---------------0-----------0-------------| D|---6---6-6-----6---6-6-----6---6-6-----6---0---0-0-----0---0-0---------| A|-4---------4-4---------4-4---------4-4---------------------------------| E|-----------------------------------------3---------3-3--------3--------|
This verse is just like the first and second, but it ends on an open A, which
is held. The note when Page comes in is a Eb (he plays it low, but he also has
a 5-string…), then it’s an F. Then it does this:
G|-----0-----------0----------0-----------0-----------0-------| D|---0---0-0-----0---0-0----1---1-1-----0---0-0-----1---1-1---| A|------------------------------------------------------------| E|-3---------3-3---------3-3--------3-3---------3-3---------3-|
He alternates these for a while, then does this:
G|-----0----------0-----------5-----------3-----------3------------11--------| D|---0---0-0----1---1-1-----5---5-5-----3---3-3-----4---4-4-----11----11-11—| A|------------------------3---------3-1---------1-1---------1-9-------------9| E|-3---------3-3--------3----------------------------------------------------|
G|-----9-----------8-------------13----------| D|---9---9-9-----6---6-6------13----13-13----| A|-7---------7-6---------6-11-------------11-| E|-------------------------------------------|
G|-------11-------------13-------------15-------------17-------17----------| D|----10----11-------12----13-------14----15-------16----17-----------------| A|-10----------11-12----------13-14----------15-16----------17----------3---| E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
