_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ [C] Hi, and welcome to How to Play Long Train Running by the Doobie Brothers.
We're going to start at a 10th fret and we're going to be playing a G minor 7 [Gm] chord.
_ _ _ [Db] 10th fret right there, barred, [Bb] and we're going to be [F] hammering on the chord.
[Gm] We're playing a G minor 7 and we're going to open it up [G] to a [F] G7 suspended 4.
[N] If any of the chords here are unfamiliar to you, use the chord tutorial link at the bottom of the page or in the description to take you to my chord tutorial that will show you in close detail how to play these chords.
Alright, back to our lesson.
[Gm] What we've got here, G minor 7, [F] G7 suspended 4, [Gm] and we're hammering just like that.
We're taking the middle finger and ring finger and we're hammering on that G minor 7 while we're strumming 16th notes.
So we're going, _ _ _ _ [Db] _ [Gm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [F]
so when we open that up, we're opening it up to the G7 suspended 4 like that.
Okay, _ now that is going to carry you through all the verses.
[N] That's what you're going to do doing all the verses that are sung, the intro and the verses of course.
_ Then you're going to move to a C minor 7.
_ _ Now when we get to the pre-chorus, without love, we're going to be doing this.
[Eb] _ _ _
_ _ _ So we've got, without love, _ _ _ [A] _ where would you [Gm] be now?
So [Eb] we went to C minor 7 to _ [Ab] _
_ [Cm] C minor 6, [Eb] C minor 7, C minor [Cm] 6 like [Eb] that.
So it's _ _ back and forth and then we went to the C minor 6, struck it 4 times.
_ Okay, here we go.
_ And we're strumming this way, just down strums. _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ Where would you be now?
We're back at G minor 7.
[Gm] _
_ _ _ _ Now, the next thing we're going to have to do [Fm] is without love.
Okay, so we're going to go down [N] to the 6th fret and we're going to make an E flat 7.
Okay, we're barring 6th fret, coming into [Eb] an E flat 7 and that's without _ love. _ _
_ And then we're going to do a [D] D7 sus 4 [C] _
and [D] a D7 and _ that's at the 5th fret.
_ Alright, [Eb] once again, E flat 7, _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] D7 sus 4 and [D] D7 and that goes something like this.
[Eb] Without love, _ _ _ where [Gm] would you be now?
_ _ _ _ _ [Eb] Without _ [D] love, oh.
_ [F] _ _ [Gm] _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _
Alright, [N] now depending on what part of the song we're in, the strumming patterns change a lot in this song.
_ For instance, when we go Illinois Central, Southern Central Freight, it goes like this.
[Bbm] _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
And that's on your G minor 7 to G7 sus 4.
So that went something like this.
And the [C] Illinois Central, Southern Central [Gbm] Freight, [Bb] just keep on pushing [F] mama, [Gm] know we're running late.
[F] So it went 2, 3, 4, [Bbm] 2, 3, [F] 4, [B] 2, 3, [Gm] 4, 1, 2, 3, [Bb] 4.
And then we go to [Fm] our [Eb] chorus, without love. _ _ _
Okay, now when it gets to, when the pistons keep on turning and the wheels [Gm] go round and round, it goes like this.
And the pistons keep on turning and the wheels go round and round, and the rails are cold and hard and the mountains, they go down.
Now all we're doing there is 2, 3, 4.
So we're striking on the 1 beat, or striking on each beat, 1, 2, 3, 4 and _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ _ 1. _
[Eb] And then when I love.
_ [Bb] _ [A] _ [Gm] _ _ [Dm] _
_ _ _ _ [F] Anytime you hear that, [N] we're striking that G7 sus 4 up at the 10th fret.
Okay, alright.
Now during the harmonica solo, which is in the middle of the song, we're going to have to move down to the 3rd fret and do a G minor 7.
[Gm] Like this.
_ _ Okay, and we're going to be playing from [Gb] that G minor 7 up to C at the 5th [C] fret, like this.
Like that, and it's going to go something like [G] this.
[C] _ [Bb] _ _ _ [Bb] _
[C] _ _ _ [Bb] You might remember that.
Now that's also done toward the end of the tune, but that's being done this [C] way.
[Bb] _ [C] _
[Gm] _ _ [Am] _ _ [G] _ 16th note strums.
Now we're emphasizing the low E, the A, [Gb] the D and the G string.
We're basically avoiding these in this, trying to keep it kind of low and [G] gutsy.
So, _ [C] _ [Gm] _ _ _ [C] _ [Bb] _
_ [C] _ [Gm] _ giving you a [Ebm] nice, nice gutsy [Bb] sound.
I love that.
Now, just before the song ending, there's a part where [Eb] they go.
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [Cm] _
[Eb] Without low_ Ooh_
_ _ [Cm] _ Now what happens there is we're going to our [F] E flat [Eb] 7, _ _ _ our [C] D7 [D] suspended [C] 4 to [D] D7.
_ And then we're going to shoot back up to our C minor 7 [Cm] at the 8th fret. _
_ Now when you get hold of that, you're going to [F] hammer on the 10th fret with [Eb] your ring finger.
Like _ _ _ _ [Cm] that.
So you go_
[Eb] And you can hammer around with that, kind of do it your own way. _ _ _ _
[B] We're just hammering on [G] the 10th fret [F] on the various strings that are [G] there.
So we're [Cm] _
going_
_ _ [G] And that's your C [Cm] minor 7.
_ _ _ Now that is all the [N] parts that you're going to need to play this song.
