Cat Stevens/ Yusuf Islam-Peace Train-cover

Whew! This one was pretty hard for me to play! It doesn't sound like it would be, but it's the chord progression and the timing that make it more difficult. Maybe its just me! Steven's playing is difficult to stay with-the chord patterns he uses on this song feel a little awkward to me...and I kept forgetting to add the G to that C chord in the verse! Steven's message and his guitar work on this song is what I like a lot!
Here is a recent video of Islam effortlessly playing and singing Peace Train: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Y-I0QW7zT8

Whew, the chord changes are all over the place on this one. Think you could remember w/o the song? lol, No way I could. Excellent job.

@ComplimentaryFlush Thanks so much! Actually-probably not-there are a few "weird" time changes and chord changes (as you probably saw me screw up on !) Yeah this was harder to do than I thought it was going to be! I screwed up more than a few times. I might want to redo this one, but my acoustic needs some work. Thanks for the look! I love your name!

thanks man - i couldn't find the intro for this anywhere. saved me lots of time

[icitnow]

wow Jason! thanks for that! I appreciate it. I actually messed up a few times on this one-I want to re-do it. Another person asked about a tutorial, but it would be with annotations only, and only after I re-do it! Thanks!
