Hi.
I came across a CBN posting you had made back in 2010 about the song 'Freight Train', asking for diatonic tabs... I happen to be working on a set of tabs for the song, but as is frequently the case, I'm having a few problems matching the lyrics to the notes, especially on additional verses. I'll include what I have so far, and if you have come up with you own tabs, maybe you can show me... they may help me iron out the wrinkles in my version. My playing styleis quite basic, pick the melody and maybe strum the drone strings. My tabs reflect this simplicity. Here is a .jpg file of what I have...

7-5-4-3 2-7-6
7-5-4-3 2-7-5
5-6-5-4 3-4-3 3-4-
5-3-0-2-3
-------------------
They are different, so I'll need to study them for clues to better fitting the lyrics to the melody. Enjoy...

I just read your page and admired your photos and guitars, especially the Cuba and Ramones. I like some color. You are a skilled luthier.
I am most into 2 and 4 strings and old blues songs. I have tried fretting diatonic like you, but I have more playing fun with pentatonic.
My next project plan is for a percussion box for 2 feet.
