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.
