Rush - Peaceable Kingdom (chords)
Music by Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson
Lyrics by Neil Peart
Transcribed by Travis Lausch
Don't normally do chord charts, would rather have full tabs but this is an easy 10 IQ points. Anyway,
Alex Lifeson's guitar playing in this is quite intricate and doesn't always follow the proper chord changes,
so this is just going to be a basic arrangement and I'll add some tab of more accurate parts for certain
sections:
[Intro]
E5
A wave toward the clearing skyD5 C5 D5 F5 C5
[Verse 1]
(during verses, Alex simply plays a Dsus2 chord over the entire verse while Geddy plays these bass chords)
D5 C5 D5 C5 All this time we're talking and sharing our rational view D5 C5 D5 F5 C5 A billion other voices are spreading other news D5 C5 D5 C5 All this time we're living and trying to understand D5 C5 D5 F5 C5 Why a billion other choices are making their demands
[Pre-Chorus]
E5

D5 C5 D5 C5 All this time we're burning like bonfires in the dark D5 C5 D5 F5 C5 A billion other blazes are shooting off their sparks D5 C5 D5 C5 Every spark a drifting ember of desire D5 C5 D5 F5 C5 To fall upon the earth and spark another fire D5 C5 To fall upon the earth and spark another...
