Music by Lee & Lifeson
Lyrics by Peart
Transcribed by Brendan Cahill ([email protected])
***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. Enjoy:
