Chords for Long Train Running - Easy Acoustic Guitar Lesson - Doobie Brothers

_ Long Train Running by the Doobie Brothers.
The song is in standard tuning.
So when playing it on acoustic, you can obviously play it
the way that you would play [Bb] it on electric. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _
[Gm] _ But when you're doing an acoustic gig,
the fewer bar chords you can get away with, the better.
So, easier way to play it, put a capo on the third fret.
Then I'll show you the chords,
and then I'll show you how we're gonna play them.
So you've got an E minor, _
an _ _ [Cm] A minor, _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] a C, _
_ _ [D] and a B. _ _ _
_ _ [Gm] _ So the way we're gonna play this,
the E minor, we're gonna start by strumming all the strings
_ [N]
without putting it down,
and then we're gonna hammer down into [Gm] the E minor.
_ _ _ _ _ _ And then at the end, we're gonna pull that off. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Am] So my right hand is pretty much going all the time
except [Gm] for the_
at the end. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Cm] _ Then we're gonna go into an A minor. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Then again, gonna take that off,
_ and then [Bb] hammer that chord [Cm] down. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ Then [Gm] back into the E minor,
into _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ the C, _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ then into [D] the B, _
_ _ _ [N] and then back into the [Gm] E minor. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
So, put those together slowly. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E]
And that is the main body of chords.
Then you've got _ [Bb] _ that _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [N] _ little lick. _
So we're up here on the seventh fret of the D string.
So technically seven, including the capo, it's four.
[B] So we're gonna play seven, [Gb] eight. _ _
Then move [N] on to the B string,
and we're gonna play eight, six,
[Bb] _ and [D] then seven _ [N] of the G string.
[Gm] _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] And _ _ [Eb] _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ that's how to play long-term running on acoustic.
