(In lotsa keys...)																																																			Rush

From the Album _A Farewell to Kings_

Music by Lee & Lifeson
Lyrics by Peart

***Note: I'm not sure if all this is 100% accurate.  It will sound like the song because the chords are right and stuff--some of it is just my improvisation though.  However, most of it is basically what Geddy plays.  This is a damn tough song!  I think a lot of bits of it are free-time, but I've tried to quantize everything into bars to make it a *little* bit easier to play.  (Strangely enough, the beginning figure, where only Geddy is playing *is* in several set meters.  He uses a rest of 6/4 between the first two bass bits and then 5/4, then 4/4, etc.  Pretty cool!)  In addition, some of the notes may not be absolutely solid--I don't know if it's the weirdness of the recording or just my ear that's messing me about.  Enjoy:
