Freight Train tab by Elizabeth Cotten
Guitar Tab
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FREIGHT TRAIN - Elizabeth Cotten ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Dave "Red Fox" Nelson Email: bikeking8@yahoo.com Tuning: Standard (E A D G B e), capo on 3rd fret I saw this performed on some online video and it looked like a good challenge. Now, if you don't know by now, this is a fingerpicking song and the tempo is rather fast. This next part is important! The chords shown on this tab do NOT represent the true sound, merely the chord fingering. I thought this might make things a little easier for you instead of trying to decipher it with a capo. Should anyone request the PRMIT's to go along with it, I'd be happy to oblige; but I left them out for now because what I'm comfortable with may not work with someone else. Do what feels comfortable for you and make it your own.

This is my first submitted tab, but I've done my best to transcribe it correctly. Constructive criticism is appreciated, though. Enjoy!
