long train running

[pgil]

anyone know how to play this on guitar?

I have what looks like a decent tab, but it has no rhythm markers on it, and I am very bad with rhythm and changes. Basically I have the rhythm down for the Gm7 chord but can't seem to figure out exactly where the changes are (I always seem to change a little late, and then stay too long in the next set of chords), plus I can't quite hear the strumming pattern for the Cm(ish) chords.

any help would be appreciated

edit: Doobie Brothers, just in case

Believe it or not, I know the band but not the song - post a link or two and I'll figure it out for you.

Anyone else think this was going to be a spam porn thread?

Here are the lyrics. I am sure you must know the song if you know the band, you probably just don't know that you know it.


I have the strumming pattern down for the Cm7 chord now, I still need to work on the timing of the change both to and from the Cm7.


Down around the corner half a mile from here
see them both feet run and you watch them dissapear

without love where would you be now
without love

though i saw miss lucy down along the track
she lost her home and her family and she won t be coming back

without love where would you be now
without love

with the feeling always central and the southern central freight
you got to keep on pushing mamma you know there running late

without love where would you be now
without love

when the pistons keep on turning and go round and round
and the steel reels are cold and hard and the moutain ain t no down

without love where would you be now
without love

I thought it was about training for long distance running. Sadly, english is my first and only language

perhaps I should have been a bit more specific in my choice of titles. then I could have gotten some help instead of people looking for spam porn (or other things).

Nothing will stop this.

pgil,

Apologies for the delay in replying. I had a loooong weekend. I do recognise the song but don't have it to properly work it out, so I did a web search.

First I found this.
I played it and it sounded ok.

I was going to ask you what you thought but then I found this!!!!.
You can't go wrong! Enjoy

ty. I think I may now have all of the different parts, its just a matter of putting them all together. either way it sounds pretty good so far, especially given that I have no rhythm whatsoever. that's what makes this song such a challenge.
