Rush: Manhattan Project From the album Power Windows (Mercury Records) Copyright 1985 Core Music Publishing Music by Lee and Lifeson Lyrics by Peart Comments/corrections to Rich Soto Transcribed by: Richard J. Soto Email: lerxst@zeus.jersey.net Beginning chords are in the background while synths are in the foreground. The little muted notes section is a timing thing, listen to the tune carefully. The beginning 3 guitar notes on the STUDIO recording are NOT natural harmonics, but are as noted. This differs from other recorded and live versions. -----------8----------6----------10-----------------------------------------|-
