Alkaline Trio

Trucks and Trains

Tabbed by Jason the Great (DAWgAWD@HoTMaiL.com)

this is the major verse riff

G|-------------------------------------------------------|

D|---------4-----------4---4/5---------------------------|

A|-2-2-2-2---2---2-2-2---2-------------5-----------0-0-0-|

E|-----------------------------3-3-3-3---3--2-3-3--------|

there are a couple variations off this, here are two examples

G|-----------------------------------------------------------|

D|---------4-----------4---4/5-------------------------------|

A|-2-2-2-2---2---2-2-2---2-------------5---5/7\--------0-0-0-|

E|-----------------------------3-3-3-3---3------2-3-3--------|

(this variation is used very often)

G|-----------------------------------------------------------|

D|---------4---4-----------4---4/5---------------------------|

A|-2-2-2-2---2---2-2-2-2-2---2-------------5-----------0-0-0-|

E|---------------------------------3-3-3-3---3--2-3-3--------|

(this variation is less common but still something keep your ears open for)

also there are cases where both variations are used in the same riff, like so.

G|---------------------------------------------------------------|

D|---------4---4-----------4---4/5-------------------------------|

A|-2-2-2-2---2---2-2-2-2-2---2-------------5---5/7\--------0-0-0-|

E|---------------------------------3-3-3-3---3------2-3-3--------|

when going into the chorus, only play the first half of the riff and then do this
