Drop-D Tuning (DADGBE)

I prefer to play tainted love in drop D because it is sooo much easier to kick into the keyboard 
part (if its played on the 

guitar). You just keep the bar for the normal chords and move it up the scale, playing 
the 4th String (High d in this tuning) 

and 3rd string (G) only in the rhythm shown. It does make the chorus slightly harder to 
play, though, but this is my 

preference.



Verse/Main Riff:

E|----------------
B|----------------
G|----------------
d|--5-5-----------
A|--5-5-----------
D|--5-5----------- 
       |Palm Mute straight after playing|



Keyboard Verse tabbed for guitar:

E|----------------------------------|
B|----------------------------------|
G|-----------------8-8-8-8----------|
d|-5-5-5-5-8-8-8-8---------8-8-10-10|
A|----------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------|


Another way of playing it, which is harder to go straight into after the Verse but is much 
higher up, making it sound like 

the keyboard, goes like this:

E|-------------------------10-10-10-10--------------|
B|-------------11-11-11-11------------11-11-13-13---|
G|-12-12-12-12--------------------------------------|
d|--------------------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------|
  |Clean___________________________________________|

This would be best for two guitars to play, one for the Main riff and another for the Higher 
keyboard verse. Alternatively, 

you could actually buy a keyboard (God forbid).
