Hello readers,

Rush - Fly By Night

    This tab is my meager attempt at tabbing Fly By Night. Some parts
were old, some parts were new. The solo is not complete. Everything I
have figured out is below. As for the rest, you are on your own. The key
is D.

[x35553] - fret box; this is a C chord - this is the same as standard
 tablature, only turned on its side. Tilt your head clockwise to read.
