Pain Train Tab

Album: So Long Bannatyne (1971) & Live At The Paramount (1972)

Heres another great Guess Who song that is not really known too well.  
I've got most of the rhythm part down, but the only thing that's missing is the solo.
The guitars are slightly distorted, untill the solo where the lead guitar is played with distortion.
