Rush - Red Barchetta

    From the CD 'Moving Pictures'
        Written by Lee/Lifeson/Peart, inspired by 'A Nice Morning
            Drive' by Richard S. Foster
        Mercury/Polygram Records 800048-2

	Standard tuning. The key is D, I think.

Jimmy Pena - jimmy@walrus.com

| = not a standard bar line; just used to separate music
~ = vibrato or held note
h = hammer on
p = pull off
s = slide
b = bend string up to indicated pitch/fret
r = release bend to indicated string/fret
/ = slide up from infinity
\ = slide down into infinity
 = natural harmonic (lightly touch the string at fret indicated)
