Rush - Closer to the Heart

        From the CD 'A Farewell to Kings'
                Written by Lee/Lifeson/Peart/Talbot
                Mercury/Polygram Records 822546-2

        This song has been tabbed by so many people, that it would be a
waste to name them all. It has also appeared (in whole and in part) in
several guitar magazines. The key is A, but it switches to D for the
solo. Standard tuning [EADGBe] (low to high). The guitars during the
verses are doubled, electric and acoustic.
