Zutons Railroad Guitar Tab

The Zutons - Railroad
Tabbed by Burton Earny
H hammer on
P Pull off
\ Slide down
I have played this along to the song to test it and it sounds
good, and as a bonus is not too complicated.
INTRO:
e--9-7-----------------|
B------9---------------|
G--------11P9-6-----9--|
D---------------9h11---|
A----------------------|
E----------------------|
This is followed by three drum beats, and then the song starts
with 2 overlapping guitars and a bass line. It's hard to
distinguish between them at times, but I'm pretty sure this is
how it goes.
VERSE:
Guitar 1:
e-----------------------------------------|
B--------------------------------7--------|
G--------9-------------------9-------9----|
D--9P8H9---9-6---------9P8H9---9----------|
A--------------7-6------------------------|
E------------------9-7--------------------|
Guitar 2:
e-----------------------------------------|
B----------------7-------------------7----|
G--------9-----6-6-6---------9-----6-6-6--|
D--9P8H9-9-9-----------9P8H9-9-9----------|
A-----------------------------------------|
E-----------------------------------------|
These play twice and then when he starts singing the verse,
guitar 1 drops out.
Then after a bit the chorus comes in:
CHORUS:
Guitar 1:
e--9-9-9-9----------------------------------------------------|
B----------9-9-9-9-------7-------------------------------7----|
G------------------8-8-8---9-9-9-9-6-6-6-6---------8-8-8---9--|
D------------------------------------------6-6-6-6------------|
A-------------------------------------------------------------|
E-------------------------------------------------------------|
Guitar 2:
e---------------9\4-----------------------------9\4-----------|
B-------------------------------9\5---------------------------|
G-------------------------------------------------------------|
D-------------------------------------------------------------|
A-------------------------------------------------------------|
E-------------------------------------------------------------|
The second chorus goes twice, and for its second time round,
guitar 2 changes to this:
e------5-------9----------------------5-------9---------------|
B------------10-10----9-------9-------------10-10----9--------|
G----6---6-11-------8---8---9---9---6---6-11-------8---8-9----|
D--7--------------9-------11------7--------------9------------|
A-------------------------------------------------------------|
E-------------------------------------------------------------|
Then there's a bit with a faster tempo that I can't figure out
so I just play the chords E and A alternately for a bit.
Finally, the solo goes like this:
e--9-7-----------------------------------|
B------9---------------------------------|
G--------11P9-6-----9h11-9---------------|
D---------------9h11-------11P9----------|
A-------------------------------11-9-----|
E------------------------------------12--| (X2)
e--7H9-7---7H9P7---7---------------------|
B----------------9---9-------------------|
G----------------------11P9-9H11P9---9---|
D----------------------------------11----|
A----------------------------------------|
E----------------------------------------|
e------------------------------------------------|
B------------------------9-----------------------|
G--9H11-11-11---11-9-9---9-9--9--9--9--9---------|
D-------------11-----------11-11-11-11-9-9--9-6--|
A----------------------------------------11-9-7--|
E---------------------------------------------0--|
For the end part with a slightly different rhythm, I just play
the chords E and A alternately, and the last 3 chords are A,
Am, and E.
Enjoy!

This song is probably fairly obvious...about a guy who has left the girl he loves behind whilst he works away from home, and that all he thinks about is next time he will be with her. good tune, and quite applicable to me!
