Note: This was not figured out with a Phish version, but it should lead the
way to more licks. Peace

Alternate Transcription
This is the way I play the main A-Train theme. Like Trey, I try to throw in a few comp chords where I can. This was not, however, figured out from a recording of Trey playing, so it could be very different from his version.

That's the "A" section. I haven't been able to figure out a way to throw in as many comp chords for the "B" section, but here is the melody:

|D-7 |G7 |C6/9 | |2x
B: |FMaj7 | | | |
|D7 | |D-7 |G7 |
Then back to A section once
Song form is AABA
