Slow Train (Staples Singers)
(tabbed by B. Brown for D. Hardy)
The opening riff is a open E string bass with descending tremble line on the G and B strings.
The chords are simple. It starts with E then A for the chorus, then E to B to A for the
verse. Listen to the recording
to get the feel of it. Have fun.
Chorus
Its slow,slow train
But its moving on
I got my ticket
Don t don t pass me by
If i don t get on
OOh i ll break right down and cry
You only got one life
To live on this earth
Oh get me there won t you please
Conductor sir
(repeat chorus)
Everybody gets a ticket
You, you and me
So easy to catch a ride
Thats how its got be
Everyone goes there
Just to prove he s the Man
Be easy on yourself
For there s no helping hand
Chorus
