Slow Train (Staples Singers)
(tabbed by B. Brown for D. Hardy)
The opening riff is a open E string bass with descending tremble line on the G and B strings.
The chords are simple. It starts with E then A for the chorus, then E to B to A for the
verse. Listen to the recording
to get the feel of it. Have fun.
