Rush: Marathon 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 This tablature inspired by and previously transcribed by Derek Linklater < dlinklater@ewu.edu >. The guitar solo is played as to make most of the notes semi-pinched (partial-artificial harmonics). Those that totally stand out are noted. Use your own judgement and may the Lerxst Be With You, ...Always. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
