Rush: Kid Gloves From the album Grace Under Pressure (Mercury Records) Copyright 1984 Core Music Publishing Music by Lee and Lifeson Lyrics by Peart Comments/corrections to Jimmy Pena This tab was originally transcribed by Patrick M. Ryan , and re-done correctly by Thom Hickey , but goes over 80 colums. Since it's basically been done already, my version is just the only one that is both right and properly formatted. It doesn't add anything else. The verses are in the key of D, the chorus and solo are in E. Jimmy Pena - jimmy@walrus.com | = not a standard bar line; just used to separate music ~ = vibrato or held note x = percussive note with no pitch; muted 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 <5> = natural harmonic (lightly touch the string at fret indicated) [5] = artificial harmonic (use thumb to follow through the pick attack) 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.

Overwhelmed by everything, but wanting more so much. G Bm Call it blind frustration, A5 [Fill 1] x1 Call it blind man's bluff. G Bm A5 A5 A5 A5 A5 A5 A5 A5 Call each other names, your voices rude, your voices rough. [arpeggate each chord here:] G Bm A5 A5 A5 A5 A5 [etc] Then you learn the lesson that it's cool to be so tough. [Riff 1] x1 With [Chorus] riff 4 times: (don't play ending the 4th time) Handle with kid gloves, handle with kid gloves. Then you learn the lessons taught in school won't be enough. Put on your kid gloves, put on your kid gloves. Then you learn the lesson that it's cool to be so tough. [Intro] w/ reduced echo With [Intro]: A world of indifference, heads and hearts too full. Careless of the consequence of constant push and pull. G Bm Anger got bare knuckles, A5 [Fill 1] x1 Anger play the fool G Bm A5 A5 A5 A5 A5 A5 A5 A5 Anger wear a crown of thorns, reverse the golden rule. [arpeggate each chord here:] G Bm A5 A5 A5 A5 A5 [etc] Then you learn the lesson that it's tough to be so cool. [Riff 1] x1 With [Chorus] riff 4 times: Handle with kid gloves, handle with kid gloves. Then you learn the weapons and the ways of hard knock school. Put on your kid gloves, put on your kid gloves. Then you learn the lesson that it's tough to be so cool.
