Notes TAB Key b - bend a semitone X - mute with palm of hand U - upstroke D MajorD - downstroke This is mainly a 2 guitar song. Guitar1 is in the right stereo channel and guitar24 is in the left. Guitar2 has a cleaner sound than guitar1. This song is a straight forward boogie kind of thing in the key of G. The verses centre around G+G and C, and the chorus’ centre around E5E5 and A5. I was a bit of a ’train spotter’ and tried to include all the rhythmic variations (as well as ascii tab allows) because it sounds boring just played with a straight shuffle feel. The guitar solo has guitar1 picking out the melody, guitar2 playing the backing chords and guitar3 playing a short, descending, ’walking bassline’ sequence. Guitars 1 and 3 can be included as one part quite easily but the way all the notes are left ringing I would say there are 2 guitars on the record here. The timings between the 2 guitars, as written above, should be pretty accurate but check the record for details. The choruses and ’Do Do’ sections are filled out with an Organ (and handclaps)
