Train Kept A Rollin Bass

(ver. 2)
Yardbirds
i no there's a few ways to play this song, but this is how it actually goes, i learned 
strait from an old book of Yardbirds tabs. It sounds GREAT!

jus learn these riffs and u'll easyily be able to put them in place.

riff 1

G--------------------------|
D--5----5------5--5--5---5-|
A-----7---7-7----------7---|
E--------------------------|

riff 2

G--------------------------|
D--7----7------7--7--7---7-|
A-----9---9-9----------9---|
E--------------------------|

riff 3

G--------------------|
D--7--7--7-9---7-5-4-|
A--------------------|
E--------------------|


riff 4

G---------------------------|
D--5---------54-  (that 4-5-| on the D string is
A--------7--7---------------|   hit pretty quick, give it a
E---------------------------|   hammeron if u cant hit as fast)

there actually is a bass solo in this song, but u dont HAVE to play it, u can jus play 
it with the main riffs. i do remeber part of how the solo goes tho.

G-------------------7-9-7-----------------------------------------7-9-7---9-|
D-------------6-7-9-------9-7-5-------------------5-7-5-----6-7-9-------9---|
A----4-2-2-4-7------------------7-5---------4-5-7-------7-5-----------------|
E--0--------------------------------7-5-3-5---------------------------------|

-9-11
9----  thats about all i remeber about it, if u wanna do it and if any good
-----  improvising u can see that it's kinda of a blues based solo, u can
-----  take that and improvise the rest if ur good enough, thats what i do.

outro is somthin like this

G----------------------------------------|
D--999999999999999999999999999-----------| not sure of the exact amout of
A-----------------------------777777---7-| times to hit those notes jus
E----------------------------------------| listen for it, it's easy to hear.

learn all of them then listen to the song to hear it. and remeber, HAVE FUN! thats what 
all about! Peace!
