"Rain" by TNT Song : Rain Album : Realized Fantasies Tuning : A half step lower except a whole step lower on 6th string Here's "Rain" by TNT. This song is my favorite. It's catchy and easy to play. As usual, Ronni tunes his guitar a half step lower. And in this song, he tunes 6th string down a half more step. I put 'Eb', but it's actually D in the normal tuning. Note that guitar and bass are at 3/4 while drums are at 4/4 until pre chorus. Intro and verse: (3/4) : Repeat 6 times Eb-----|------------|------------|------------|------------| Bb-----|6-----5---xx|8-----6---xx|6-----5---xx|------------| Gb-----|5-----5---xx|5-----5---xx|5-----5---xx|5---5---5---| Db-----|------------|------------|------------|5---5---5---| Ab-/\--|------------|------------|------------|3---3---3---| D -----|------------|------------|------------|------------|
