Capo: 2
Artist: Chris Robinson
Song: Train Robbers
Album: This Magnificent Distance
Tuning: EADGBE (Standard) with a capo at the 5th fret (album and New Earth Mud live versions) or 2nd fret
(Chris Robinson Brotherhood live versions). The studio version has an acoustic guitar (or two) playing
throughout the song, then an electric that joins during the choruses and solo (playing the rhythm part).
I have included both the acoustic and electric parts in this tab (rhythm only, a separate electric plays both
solos).
NOTE: Most chords in this tab are chord shapes relative to the capo, not the actual pitch of the chords.
The exception being the electric playing during the choruses and solo, which does not have a capo.
Notable chord shapes:

A B C (play A and B as pickup notes to a full C chord)
CIf there's one Gthing I've learned in this Dlife of crime

But the Em(maj7)omen already Em7came Em(maj7) Em
In the Em(maj7)form of a Em7pear tree Em(maj7) Em
That grows Em(maj7)out of a Em7cave Em(maj7)
Into a Asus/F#crystal waterBfall
