Long Train Runnin

The Doobie Brothers
Tab

This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Intro

+ - G11 (no 3rd)

v Gm7

e| -10-------10-10--|--10--10---10---- |
B| -10-h-11--11-11--|--11--11---10---- |
G|:-10-------10-10--|--10--10---10----:|

Lots of strumming here, I'm just showing the fingerings

Cm7 Cm7 Cm6/7 (or Cm7 add 13)

e|-8----------------|-8-------8--------|
B|-8----------------|-11------10-------|
G|-8----------------|-8-------8--------| then repeat intro 2x
D|-8----------------|-8-------8--------|
A|-10---------------|-10------10-------|
E|-8----------------|-8-------8--------|

Again, lots of strumming

D#7 Gm7 D7

e|--11--------------|--10------10------|
B|--11--------------|--11------10------|
G|--12--------------|--10------11------| then back to intro.
D|--11--------------|--12------10------|
A|--13--------------|--10------12------|
E|--11--------------|--10------10------|

There is one other part that uses the intro chords with a different

rhythm, something like this:

| 1 . . . 2 . . . 3 . . . 4 . . . |
