Two trains running side by side, forty miles wide down the eastern line.

Notes.
1. This track amongst others, bears the hallmarks of Dave Hildago's mature Tex-
Mex sensibilities.
2. There are other ways of simplifying this arrangement, just by shifting a note
or two. It's interesting how a range of tonal possibilities manifest from a small
change of chord structures.
