Hi James:

  Pleas put this in the archives. Thanks.

Here's my attempt to transcribe "Cut to the Chase" by Rush. It might not be
perfect, since I'm doing this with an acoustic (that means no solo included).
Any comments or suggestions welcome.

CUT TO THE CHASE
Rush - from the album "Counterparts"
