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

Song progression:

[Intro] x5
[Riff 1] x4

[Riff 2] x1

[Riff 2] x2 /w lyrics:

	My uncle has a country place,
	that no one knows about.
	He says it used to be a farm
	before the Motor Law.

	And on Sundays, I elude the "Eyes"
	and hop the turbine freight -
	to far outside the wire
	where my white-haired uncle waits.

[Riff 3] x2
[Riff 4] x1

[Riff 4] x2 w/ lyrics:

	Jump to the ground as the turbo slows to cross the borderline.
	Run like the wind as excitement shivers up and down my spine.

[Riff 5] x2 w/ lyrics:

Down in his barn, my uncle preserved for me an old machine - for 50 odd
years. To keep it as new has been his dearest dream.

[Intro] x1

[Riff 2] x2 /w lyrics:

	I strip away the old debris
	that hides the shining car.
	a brilliant red Barchetta from a
	better vanished time.

	Fire up the willing engine,
	responding with a roar!
	Tires spitting gravel I commit
	my weekly crime.

[Riff 6] x2

[Riff 6] x3 /w lyrics:

	Wind in my hair, shifting and drifting.
	-- mechanical music,

[Riff 7] x1 /w lyrics:

	-- adrenalin surge.....

[Riff 7] x1 w/ lyrics:

   Well weathered leather, hot metal and oil, the scented country air.

[Riff 8] x1 w/ lyrics:

  Sunlight on chrome, the blur of the landscape, every nerve aware!

[Riff 4] x1 (repeat first part 3 times)

[Riff 2] x2 /w lyrics:

	Suddenly ahead of me,
	across the mountain side,
	a gleaming alloy air car shoots towards
	me two lanes wide.

	I spin around with shrieking tires
	to run the deadly race;
	go screaming through the valley as
	another joins the chase.

[Riff 3] x2
[Riff 4] x1

[Riff 4] x2 w/ lyrics:

Drive like the wind, straining the limits of machine and man.
Laughing out loud with fear and hope, I've got a desperate plan.

[Riff 5] x2 w/ lyrics:

At the one lane bridge I leave the giants stranded at the riverside.
Race back to the farm to dream with my uncle at the fireside.

[Riff 5] x1

[Intro] x7
[Riff 1] x4
