Different Trains After The War by Steve Reich

Intro

Different Trains.
It was written for string quartet, so there should be 4 parts but
I've added 2 extra parts so it sounds like an orchestra in you bedroom.
In the song each part is added gradually and repeated until all parts
are introduced. But I assume anyone reading this tab didn't find it by
accident. See my YouTube video if you need help.

 |    |    |    |    |
|-----------------------------------------| (the music starts on the
|-----------------------------------------| 5th beat, its also much
|-7---------------------------------------| easier to make a more
|---0-----------------------------8-8-7-8-| accurate loop this way)
|-----------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------|

 |    |    |    |    |

|-----------------------------------------|

 |    |    |    |    |
|-----------------------------------------| (this loop is the same as
|-10----10------------10------------------| the above one, but it starts
|---9-----9---7-7-9-7---9---------7-7-9-7-| on the 5th beat, in true
|-----------------------------------------| Reich Phasing style)
|-----------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------|

 |    |    |    |    |
|-----------------------------------------| (this loop also starts on
|-5-----6-5---6-6-8-6-5-----------6-6-8-6-| the 5th beat)
|-----------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------|

 |    |    |    |    |
|-----------------------------------------| (this loop is identical to the

|-----------------------------------------| the 4th beat)
|-----------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------|

 |    |    |    |    |
|-----------------------------------------| (this is the cello part and the
|-----------------------------------------| reason that this song is best
|-----------------------------------------| played in Drop Chord diagramD MajorD tuning, play
|-----------------------------------------| these last four sections one
|---------5-------------------------------| by one over the loop for best
|-----------5-----------------------------| effect)
