\"Train Wreck (Demo Version)\" by Glen Phillips\r\n \r\nHe changes how he plays it live but it's mostly just moving the capo. \r\na couple of things about this song... first of all, most of the\r\nsong (guitarwise) consists of simple arpeggiated chords, so i\r\nwon't go into much detail there. if you follow the chord\r\nstructure of the song, you'll be fine. i've given the first verse\r\nas an example though... there's also an acoustic guitar during the\r\nbridge and ending that strums the same chords that i've omitted,\r\nbut not ignored.\r\n\r\nthis transcription is based on the recorded demo, but, at the end,\r\ni've also given a few variations that glen does live.\r\n\r\n\r\nCapo 4 (Guitars 1 and 3)\r\n\r\nExcept where noted, all tab is for Guitar 1.\r\n\r\n\r\nIntro:\r\n\r\n[tab]

Variations:\r\n\r\nThe way Glen plays this live now is pretty much like it is on the\r\ndemo, except without the extended ending.
