Okay, so that was the intro to the Dewey Brothers song, Long Train Runnin' and we're going to
teach [F] that to you right now.
So take your index finger and lay it across the top five strings on the 10th fret and
that's going to be your first chord that you play, play all five of those strings. _ _
You're going to hammer on with your middle finger and your third finger and your middle
finger is going to go on the 11th fret on your B string and your third finger is going
to go on the 12th fret on your D string and then you're going to hit that chord all at [Gm] once, _ _ _ twice.
_ Then go back to having your index finger on the 10th fret and play [F] those strings again. _
_ Then you're going to hit it one more time, _ _ hammer back on [Gm] _ _ and play that twice.
So that whole little phrase together is this right here, slowly.
_ [Bb] _
_ _ _ [F] _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ So that riff repeats itself throughout the song. _
_ _ [F] _ [Bb] _ _ _ [F] The next thing you need to be aware of is some muting that's going on in between the strumming.
So if you have the first little [Gm] bit, _ _ you're going to be muting with your left hand, take
your chord off and just kind of cover up the strings.
_ _ You're going to have some muting going on between so I'll play the first little bit
of that for you.
_ _ [F] _ _ [Gm] _
_ [F] _ [Gm] _ _ [N] _ _ _ _
Okay, make sure you're covering all the strings and you're getting a good [Em] tinky sound and
not having any noise.
_ [F] Like that.
_ So the second part of this song that I'm going to teach you is this right here. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
And all you're going to do there is take your index finger, lay it over the 8th fret, pinky
is going to come up on your B string on the 11th fret _ and your ring finger is going to
grab the 10th fret on your D string.
You're going to strum two times with your [Fm] right hand, _ _ _ two more times, _ _ then a one, _ so
[Eb] that whole phrase together. _ _
_ [N] _ Then you're going to move your pinky down one fret onto the 10th fret on the same string,
do that exact phrase with your right [C] hand, the same [F] rhythm and _ _ _ then you're going to go
back up to the original riff.
_ [Bb] _
_ _ [F] _ [Gm] _ _ [Eb] Once you've played all those, all you're going to do is come back down here, get a E flat
power chord, _ _ _ _ then move [Ab] it down to a D [D] power chord, _ _ [N] then come back up and start the original riff again.
So here's the [Eb] rhythm for your power chords.
It's going to be just straight quarter notes. _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] So _ _ [F] _ [Bb] _ _ _
that's the song Long Train Runnin' by the Doobie Brothers.
I hope you have a lot of fun playing it. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
