This is a tab for the song Big Train from the new album afterglow. This is the first
time I tried to tab a song by ear, so any comments or tips would be most appreciated!
the song is in standard tuning, so E A D G B e
Intro:
e-5-5-5-5-5--5-5-5-5-5--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-|
B-5-5-5-5-5--5-5-5-5-5--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-|

D-7-7-7-7-7--7-7-7-7-7--7-7-7-7-7-7-7-|
A-------------------------------------|

Directly after that comes a part that we shall title Riff 1. just play this riff
directly after the intro and each time Glenn finishes a sentence. this is also the riff that is
played during the solo
Riff 1:

after the last sentence Glenn sings (which I believe is the 8th) another riff kicks in.
the timing on this one is a bit tricky, so listen to the track carefully and figure it
out for yourself!

directly after that another riff kicks in. it goes like this
Riff 3:
e-----------------|
B-----------------|
G-----------------|

E-5---5-3-5---5-2-| repeat 4 times
directly after that, the intro riff is repeated, except 2 times instead of 4.

after that the intro is repeated 4 times, and after that the solo kicks in in which you
basically play riff 1 8 times.

thereafter comes a breakdown part, wich I haven't quite figured out yet.what I do know
is that the chords that are played are Am, Dm, F.
then riff 2 is repeated 4 times, riff 3 is repeated 4 times and after that the intro is
played again 4 times
