Hello, Yes, it's me again! Right, Last train to Satansville what a tune!
This song basically has 1 long verse and no chorus, Adam is bascially telling
a story, in order to learn this song you will need to be very familiar with it.

The diagram below shows how to re-create the train sound at the start
of the song. This doesn't appear on the recorded version but when
Swervedriver play this live they start the song with a screaming train
sound. WOO WOO!

Intro

Rhythm Guitar
E|-------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------| Mute the first chord then ease off, and let the
G|-------------------6~~~--------v-----| two other chords ring while the lead guitar plays that
D|--4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4--6~~~--------4~~~--| signature riff. On the last chord, slightly depress
A|--4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4--4~~~--------4~~~--| the tremolo arm.
E|--2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2--------------2~~~--|

E|---------------|
B|---------------| Play this all muted with
G|---------------| a nice ammount of distortion.

G|--13-11-13-11-9-11----v--|--11-11-11-11-11-11-11--| which is simple enough, the second
D|-------------------9/11--|---x--x--x--x--x--x--x--| bar is my attempt at re-creating that
A|-------------------------|---x--x--x--x--x--x--x--| strange train noise sound in the background,
E|-------------------------|---x--x--x--x--x--x--x--| with distortion and palm mute.

Verse Breaks
------------

Because there is no chorus in this song, I will call the instrumental sections
between the verses "Verse Breaks" because its a nice instrumental break from the
verses. Simple enough.

After Verse Break, Leading Upto 2nd Verse
-----------------------------------------

After the "Verse Break" it goes into a build up to the next verse, which is 
this section.

B|--11~~~~~~--7~~~~~~~--|--x--x--x--x--x--x---| Improvise with the train sounds,
G|--11~~~~~~--7~~~~~~~--|--11-11-11-11-11-11--| and the clanky sounding notes.
D|----------------------|--x--x--x--x--x--x---|
A|----------------------|--x--x--x--x--x--x---|
E|----------------------|--x--x--x--x--x--x---|

Ending
------

The ending is the same as the above, improvise with the train noises and keep the palm muted
riff going until you decide to stop or get bored. If you wanted to get the song 100% correct
you could ask a biker to rev his motorbike engine down the microphone if you where playing it
in front of an audience. Hmmm....
