FREIGHT TRAIN - Elizabeth Cotten

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tabbed by: Dave "Red Fox" Nelson

Email: webmaster at tabs-database.com.com

Tuning: Standard ( E A D G B e ), capo on 3rd fret

I saw this performed on some online video and it looked like a good challenge.

Now, if you don't know by now, this is a fingerpicking song and the tempo is

rather fast. This next part is important! The chords shown on this tab do NOT

represent the true sound, merely the chord fingering. I thought this might

make things a little easier for you instead of trying to decipher it with a

capo. Should anyone request the PRMIT's to go along with it, I'd be happy to

oblige; but I left them out for now because what I'm comfortable with may not

work with someone else. Do what feels comfortable for you and make it your own.

This is my first submitted tab, but I've done my best to transcribe it

correctly. Constructive criticism is appreciated, though. Enjoy!
