Train Kept A Rollin'
this is the main riff
g| |
d| |
a| _____ | _____
e| 3 3 0 3 3 3 0 3 3 0 3 3 0 | 3 3 0 3 3 3 0 3 3 0 3 3 0
the bar over the 3's means it's a triplet
then the riff moves up a step
g| |
d| |
a| _____ |
e| 5 5 2 5 5 5 2 5 5 2 5 5 2|
then it goes back to the main riff for a bar
this is that other part
g
d
a
e 5 5 5 7 7 5 3 3 0
there's a free part in E minor in the middle of the song
then one more run throught the riff and then
g
d
a
e 0 2 3 0 2 3
repeated for a few times
and be careful of that part where it stops (looking so good I just
couldn't let her go) cuz it just picks up in the middle of the riff.
and the songs ends on G over and over
g
d
a
e 3 3 3 3 3 3 3
the aerosmith version is a bit different, as far as I can remember, my
version has half studio, half live and i'm not sure if it's the one from
the album.
g
d
a
e 3 3 0 3 3 0 3
etcetera
g
d
a
e 5 7 5 3 0
the part they add is something like this:
g
d
a 2 3 5 3 2
e 0 0 0 2 3 0 0 0 2 3 5 5 3 2
but i can hardly play it, so just play something similar
then after a few more riffs, it switches over to a live version which
remains close to the original.
