This is a tab for the song Big Train from the new album afterglow. This is the first time I tried to tab a song by ear, so any comments or tips would be most appreciated! the song is in standard tuning, so E A D G B e Intro: e-5-5-5-5-5--5-5-5-5-5--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-| B-5-5-5-5-5--5-5-5-5-5--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-| G-7-7-7-7-7--7-7-7-7-7--7-7-7-7-7-7-7-| D-7-7-7-7-7--7-7-7-7-7--7-7-7-7-7-7-7-| A-------------------------------------| E-------------------------------------| repeat 4 times Directly after that comes a part that we shall title Riff 1. just play this riff directly after the intro and each time Glenn finishes a sentence. this is also the riff that is played during the solo Riff 1: e-----------| B-----------| G-----------| D-----------| A-----------| E-5-x-x-5-3-| after the last sentence Glenn sings (which I believe is the 8th) another riff kicks in. the timing on this one is a bit tricky, so listen to the track carefully and figure it out for yourself! Riff 2: e-5-5-5-5-5-5--0-0--1-1-| B-5-5-5-5-5-5--3-3--1-1-| G-7-7-7-7-7-5--2-2--2-2-| D-7-7-7-7-7-7--0-0--3-3-| A--------------0-0--3-3-| E-----------------------| repeat 4 times directly after that another riff kicks in. it goes like this Riff 3: e-----------------| B-----------------| G-----------------| D-----------------| A---3-------3-----| E-5---5-3-5---5-2-| repeat 4 times directly after that, the intro riff is repeated, except 2 times instead of 4. Intro: e-5-5-5-5-5--5-5-5-5-5--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-| B-5-5-5-5-5--5-5-5-5-5--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-| G-7-7-7-7-7--7-7-7-7-7--7-7-7-7-7-7-7-| D-7-7-7-7-7--7-7-7-7-7--7-7-7-7-7-7-7-| A-------------------------------------| E-------------------------------------| after that it just goes exactly like before, so 8 times riff 1, 4 times riff 2 and 4 times riff 3. Riff 1: e-----------| B-----------| G-----------| D-----------| A-----------| E-5-x-x-5-3-| Riff 2: e-5-5-5-5-5-5--0-0--1-1-| B-5-5-5-5-5-5--3-3--1-1-| G-7-7-7-7-7-5--2-2--2-2-| D-7-7-7-7-7-7--0-0--3-3-| A--------------0-0--3-3-| E-----------------------| Riff 3: e-----------------| B-----------------| G-----------------| D-----------------| A---3-------3-----| E-5---5-3-5---5-2-| after that the intro is repeated 4 times, and after that the solo kicks in in which you basically play riff 1 8 times. Intro: e-5-5-5-5-5--5-5-5-5-5--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-| B-5-5-5-5-5--5-5-5-5-5--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-| G-7-7-7-7-7--7-7-7-7-7--7-7-7-7-7-7-7-| D-7-7-7-7-7--7-7-7-7-7--7-7-7-7-7-7-7-| A-------------------------------------| E-------------------------------------| e-----------| B-----------| G-----------| D-----------| A-----------| E-5-x-x-5-3-| thereafter comes a breakdown part, wich I haven't quite figured out yet.what I do know is that the chords that are played are Am, Dm, F. then riff 2 is repeated 4 times, riff 3 is repeated 4 times and after that the intro is played again 4 times Riff 2: e-5-5-5-5-5-5--0-0--1-1-| B-5-5-5-5-5-5--3-3--1-1-| G-7-7-7-7-7-5--2-2--2-2-| D-7-7-7-7-7-7--0-0--3-3-| A--------------0-0--3-3-| E-----------------------| Riff 3: e-----------------| B-----------------| G-----------------| D-----------------| A---3-------3-----| E-5---5-3-5---5-2-| Intro: e-5-5-5-5-5--5-5-5-5-5--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-| B-5-5-5-5-5--5-5-5-5-5--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-| G-7-7-7-7-7--7-7-7-7-7--7-7-7-7-7-7-7-| D-7-7-7-7-7--7-7-7-7-7--7-7-7-7-7-7-7-| A-------------------------------------| E-------------------------------------|
