Rush - The Trees From the CD 'Hemispheres' Written by Lee/Lifeson/Peart Mercury/Polygram Records 822547-2 Other tab was quite a bit lacking, so here is the full version. Previously tabbed by Patrick M. Ryan and Frank Schaapherder . The key is D. Intro is played on a nylon- 6-stringed acoustic. The rest of the song is played by two electric guitars [in unison] with distortion and chorus. Intro courtesy of Tony Kennedy and Rich Soto with some further corrections by myself.
