Versao 1 Intro: {60 64 50 54 42 52 52 64 50} {60 64 50 54 50 52 52 64 50} {60 64 50 54 42 52 52 64 50} {60 64 50 54 50 52 52 50 50 60} {62 64 50 54 50 52 52 50 50 60} {4x} Living on a lighted stage approaches the unreal, for those who think and feel in touch with some reality beyond the gilded cage. {62 64 50 54 50} {62 64 50 54 50} Cast in this unlikely role, ill equipped to act, within suficient tact, one must put up barriers to keep one self in tact. {62 64 50 54 50} {refrão} Living in the limelight: the universal dream for those who wish to seem. Those who wish to be must put a side the alienation, get on with the fascination, the real relation, the underlying theme. {62 64 50 54 50} {2x} Living in a fish-eye lens, caught in the camera eye, I have no heart to lie. I can't pretend a stranger is a long awaited friend. {62 64 50 54 50} {62 64 50 54 50} All the world's indeed a stage, and we are merely players, performers and portrayers, each another's audience, outside the gilded cage {62 64 50 54 50} {refrão} {solo} {refrão} _______________________________________________________ Contribuição: MAURO GONZAGA([email protected]) Versão 2 -======- Guitar tabs for : Limelight Transcription by: Joe Kung ([email protected]) Patrick Ryan The solo is a blatant infringement of copyright, for it has been reproduced without permission by Frank Schaapherder ([email protected]).

Then do the second riff of the intro twice and go back to the verses etc. etc. Solo: ----- Right before the solo in the chorus, instead of returning to the chorus arpeggiations, play the sus 4 for one more measure, then go ahead with: -_------------------------------------------------------------------- 2-0-!-12->-(9)------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------X-11------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------4--4->-6->-2->-4->-2->----------------------------------- -----------------------------------2->-4----------------------------- NH ---12->-14--------14-----------11-------14-------11-------14--------- 12------------12-----11-14--------12-11----11-12----12-11------------ -----------11--------------13---------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- ------11------------------------------------------------------------- 11-12----14----11--------_--_--_------------------------------------- ------------13----11---11-13-11-13->-1------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- _ _ 16->-(19)!--14-16->-(18)-!->-16-14-16-18-16--16-18-16--18-19-16------ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- 18-19-18--19-21-21->-(23)-!------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Hold the last note almost indefinately. A little (or actually, a bit more) feedback wouldn't hurt. It's the incredibly long magic note. After the solo, play the chorus arpeggiation once more, and get back into the chorus. The final chord of the song is the again. -- Legend: | - A pair of these indicate a part of music, not the usuals bars. : - Indicates that a part is to be repeated.
