Lonely Train Tab by Black Stone Cherry
Tabbed by nick dupont (sikk_nick)
 
 
Ok there has been some debate about how to play this song, but I now have it PERFECT.
 
 
By the way the main riff is NOT played like this :
|--6-5-3-0-6-5-3-0-6-5-3-0-6-5-3-0----|
as is shown in all the other tabs on this site
 
 
tuning: drop C

ok i found some mistakes...i'm gonna post a new tab of lonely train with EVERYTHING perfect (i might even do the rythm part behind the slow solo)

Thunderhawk207
im not positive but i think the 3-0-0-0-5-0-0-0-3-0-0-0-5 part is played 3p0-0-0-5p0-0-0-3p0-0-0-5p0 maybe im just half deaf but i only hear two muted pick strikes on the open E

good tab, but if you listen closely to the song the 6-5-3-0 part in the intro is actually 5-4-3-0. Just watch the dvd that came with the album, you can see thats what the rythym guitarist is playing. Otherwise nice tab, good job on the solo
