I Often Dream Of Trains Guitar Tabs by Robyn Hitchcock

Beautiful song from a classic Hitchcock album, picked on a Telecaster.

This is by no means anywhere near perfect, more a simplified skeleton of the chords. It 
fine to play it all like this though, but any corrections welcome.

Here another guitar comes in I think, but the basic parts are the same, and you can keep 
pretty much the same thing. Anyway...
