Hi There,
If you want to take a peek at Elizabeth's Guitar version. Just look in the newest Tab Archives and I have it there on Guitar....Jack Baker

That’s a fantastic share. Elizabeth Cotten’s “Freight Train” has such a timeless feel, and hearing it adapted for a 5-string in C position is really interesting. Intermediate players can get a lot out of a solo like this, especially with the TAB included—it makes learning the nuances of her fingerpicking style much more accessible. It’s always inspiring to see classic tunes arranged in ways that keep them approachable for modern players while preserving the original charm of the piece.
