From the CD 'A Farewell to Kings' Written by Lee/Lifeson/Peart Mercury/Polygram Records 822546-2
This is not wholly original. The solo was taken from a previous version of the tab, done by Blake Butterworth (butterwo@rex.cs.tulane.edu). The rest of it appears similar, but that's just because it was mostly done right the first time. I have included it here because it appears to be correct, and my purpose is to merge all previous versions to make the most comprehensive and correct tab, not necessarily an original version. Standard tuning [EADGBe] (low to high). The key is C.

| = not a standard bar line; just used to separate music ~ = vibrato or held note h = hammer on p = pull off s = slide b = bend string up to indicated pitch/fret r = release bend to indicated string/fret / = slide up from infinity \ = slide down into infinity 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. +-3-+ = this is a triplet indicator

CYGNUS X-1 BOOK ONE - THE VOYAGE As recorded by Rush (From the 1977 Album A FAREWELL TO KINGS (MERCURY 314 534 628-2))
Words by PeartMusic by Lee, Lifeson and Peart Arranged by Rush and Terry Brown Transcribed by Richard J. Soto Last Updated: 2003-04-29
The riffs played initially within measures 19-24, are played with your index finger "planted" (a stay of the fretted note) to play the lower melody notes while the high melody note is fretted with the pinky finger. It's also important to note that those high melody notes are executed with a sort-of "picked hammer-on" creating the staccato of the high melody notes throughout the section. This exact technique is also executed in measures 141-157 during the interlude.
The guitar solo uses a wha-wha pedal with a delay but the wha filter isn't really rocked except during measures 130 & 134-135 basically.
The end chords are played on the studio track with a clean guitar although when Alex played this live in the late 1970's during the AFTK & Hemispheres Tours, he used a clean but heavily thickened chorus sound with TONS of analog delay, which was a very cool sound also.
Big thanks to my fellow tabbing comrade C.D. Bruce for his previous tab of this song as it was a very helpful aide.

**Please take note:
1. This song is very complex, long and improvised. Try
not to get frustrated, be patient!
2. Make note of all the time changes. They are written
whenever a new time occurs at the beginning of the bars.
3. Lifeson plays on a double-neck, most of it on the upper
12-string with the solos on the lower 12-string.

The people were delighted
Coming forth to claim their prize
They ran to build their cities
And converse among the wise
But one day the streets fell silent
Yet they knew not what was wrong
The urge to build these fine things
Seemed not to be so strong
The wise men were consulted
And the Bridge of Death was crossed
In quest of Dionysus

III - Dionysus [Bringer of Love] (6:59 - 9:53)
*********************************************************************
***Follow the same structure as the Apollo section.
I bring Love to give you solace
In the darkness of the night
In the heart's eternal light
You need only trust your feelings
Only Love can steer you right
I bring Laughter, I bring Music
I bring Joy, and I bring Tears
I will soothe your primal fears
Throw off those chains of Reason
And your prison disappears
The cities were abandoned
And the forests echoed song
They danced and lived as brothers
They knew Love could not be wrong
Food and wine they had aplenty
And they slept beneath the stars
The people were contented
And the Gods watched from afar
But the winter fell upon them
And it caught them unprepared
Bringing wolves and cold starvation
And the hearts of men despaired... -->into next bar below:

**Repeat same pattern for the next verse:
Some fought themselves, some fought each other
Most just followed one another
Lost and aimless like their brothers
For their Hearts were so unclear
And the Truth could not appear
Their spirits were divided
Into blinded hemispheres

Some who did not fight
Brought tales of old to light
My 'Rocinante' sailed by night
On her final flight
To the heart of Cygnus' fearsome force
We set our course
Spiralled through that timeless space
To this immortal place
