                              "Natural Science"
                                  by Rush
                            from Permanent Waves
                            Lyrics by Neil Peart
                     Music by Geddy Lee & Alex Lifeson
 
Transcription by Paul Bryant (pbryanthawk.cs.ukans)
 
Song begins in 4/4
 
LEGEND:    \  means slide down the neck toward headstock
           !  means play staccato
 
NOTE:  Before you get your hopes up, alas, I did not transcribe the solos.
       Sorry, I'm just not fast enough.  The rest is pretty accurate,
       though, and a pleasure to play even without the solos.
