D#/Ebm

The dancer slows her frantic pace





In pain and desperation,



F#/Gb

Her aching limbs and downcast face



B

Aglow with perspiration



D#/Ebm

Stiff as wire, her lungs on fire,





With just the briefest pause



F#/Gb

The flooding through her memory,



B                              C#/Db

The echoes of old applause.





She limps across the floor





F#/Gb                  D#/Eb

And closes her bedroom door...

(This pattern follows through out the verse)





D#/Ebm

The writer stares with glassy eyes





Defies the empty page



F#/Gb

His beard is white, his face is lined



B

And streaked with tears of rage.



D#/Ebm

Thirty years ago, how the words would flow





With passion and precision,



F#/Gb

But now his mind is dark and dulled



B                                  C#/Db

By sickness and indecision



And he stares out the kitchen door



          F#/Gb                      D#/Eb

Where the sun will rise no more...

D#/Eb            C#/Db

Some are born to move the world



   G#/Ab

To live their fantasies



D#/Eb               C#/Db

But most of us just dream about



    G#/Ab

The things we'd like to be





Em              D

Sadder still to watch it die



     C             G

Than never to have known it



B                      C#/Db

For you, the blind who once could see



B        C#/Db     B       C#/Db

The bell tolls for thee...



B        C#/Db        D#/Eb

The bell tolls for..

This is one of my favourite all time Rush song. Since I didn't find a full tab or chord 

for this song I thought it was time for someone to do it.

It was a pleasure figuring out the tab and chords for this incredible song and I'll hope 

enjoy it as much as I do!
