Kid Gloves
	Rush, from _Grace_Under_Pressure_

transcription by pat@jaameri.gsfc.nasa.gov (Patrick M. Ryan)

Notes:
	This is a fun tune.  Play it loud.
	In the first measure of the intro, there are some extra
muffled notes between the notes I have tabbed below.  First prize
to whoever figures them all out and tells me ('cause I don't
know what they are!).  Extra credit for the rest of the solo.

verses
(chords without tabs are in their usual spellings)

riff [A]
A world of difference
A world so out of touch
riff [A]
Overwhelmed by everything
But wanting more so much --

G             B
Call it blind frustration
A                   riff [B]
Call it blind man's bluff
G               B
Call each other names --
           A       A A  A A  A A
our voices rude -- your voices rough
G                  B
Then you learn the lesson
B    D    A             A A
That it's cool to be so tough

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

That it's cool to be so tough

riff [A]

verse 2

A world of indifference
Heads and hearts too full
Careless of the consequence
Of constant push and pull

Anger got bare knuckles
Anger play the fool
Anger wear a crown of thorns
Reverse the golden rule
Then you learn the lesson
That it's tough to be so cool

Good luck with the solo, it's a doozey.

initial attack. Tablature represents notes that are actually played. Echoed

Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Anthony Average	#1 by Anthony Pardee at May 30, 1992 at 4:10 PM EST
	I think it's implying that you have to do things the hard way sometimes. Kids are new to some things, and so they don't know the outcome whatever new thing they're trying. Most likely they make mistakes the first time, or even a second third or the hundredth time. But finally they learn the lessons. And then taking that and incorporating that with school, it really sends a message of what it's like to be in school. People have reps, belong to groups. Popularity is a huge factor, and they talk more about that in Subdivisions. Overall, this is a great song. Neil Peart has an awesome imagination, and is a true artist with his poetry. (That's what it is, though, is poetry. All songs come from written poems.)

No Picture Damien Wanna Be	#2 by Damien Pritchard at Oct 17, 1994 at 11:06 AM EST
	I cant believe that no-one has commented on this song yet, its amazing! the melody is amazing, and the song has such bounce and purpose, it really is irrepresable! but yeah, the lyrics deal with finding ones way in school and such like. Aah, school daze.
