Crazy Train
Letra
All aboard, hahahahahahaha!
IIIIIIIIIII!
Crazy, but that's how it goes
Millions of people living as foes
Maybe it's not too late
To learn how to love
And forget how to hate
Mental wounds not healing
Life's a bitter shame
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I've listened to preachers
I've listened to fools
I've watched all the dropouts
Who make their own rules
One person conditioned
To rule and control
The media sells it
And you live the role
Mental wounds still screaming
Driving me insane
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I know that things are going wrong for me
You gotta listen to my words, yeah!
Heirs of a cold war
That's what we've become
Inheriting troubles
I'm mentally numb
Crazy, I just can not bear
I'm living with something
That just isn't fair
Mental wounds not healing
Who and what's to blame
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
Tradução
Trem Maluco
Todos a bordo, hahahahahahaha!
Louco, mas é assim que as coisas são
Milhões de pessoas vivendo como inimigas
Talvez não seja tarde demais
Para aprender a amar
E esquecer como odiar
Feridas mentais não tem cura
A vida é uma vergonha amarga
Estou saindo dos trilhos num trem maluco
Eu escutei os pregadores
Eu escutei os tolos
Eu vi quem abandonou os estudos
E faz suas próprias regras
Uma pessoa condicionada a mandar e controlar
A mídia vende isto e você vive o papel
Feridas mentais que ainda gritam
Me deixando louco
Estou saindo dos trilhos num trem maluco
Sei que as coisas estão saindo erradas para mim
Você precisa escutar minhas palavras
Sim
Herdeiros de uma guerra fria
Foi o que nos tornamos
Herdando problemas, estou mentalmente anestesiado
Louco, eu simplesmente não consigo suportar
Estou vivendo com algo que simplesmente não é justo
Feridas mentais não tem cura
Quem e o que culpar
Estou saindo dos trilhos num trem maluco

Now for Randy's famous Main Riff, the way I play it (and I advise a lot of alternate picking
for the A-string notes):
e |----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
B |-------------5----------------5----------------3----------------------------------------
G |-------------6----------------4----------------2----------------2------------2----------

Now repeat the following Line Seven Times

D |-------------7----------------6----------------4----------------2------------2--------
A 0-----00----------000--------------000---------------000---------0------------0--------

And play into this One, where the Main Verse Riff ends:

Fill #1 (I love this fill, Personally, it is one of my all-time favorites)
To play this fill to Randy's speed, Alternate picking is essential.

(this is hella sweet)
I reccoment to listen to the the solo as you learn it;
it will make the noise make more sense.
The tapping in this section is two very fast taps that almost sound as though they were
only one tap, when first learning this solo i recommend only tapping once each time.
e |T--T----p------T--T----p------T--T----p------T--T----p-----

Here in this next bit, you could continue hammering on and pulling off the 10 and 12
and slide your hand in-motion to the 9 and 11, or use your tremolo (sissy stick) to
get the same sound. Your call.

The big secret to play this line right is to practice it until you
and your fingers know it right, then try to match the speed.

The "R" is for your tapping finger to pull-off the note as your left hand
may be used to doing, only this is done with your right hand tapping finger.
In the following lines Randy made his sound by tapping the same fret between
consecutive hammer-ons and pull-offs.
