Love Is Strong

from the Voodoo Lounge album

Tabbed by Rein Hettinga ( e-mail: [email protected] )

I never saw a tab version of this song, so i gave it a try.

Only tabbed the cool Keith Richards rhythm part though.

The Ron Wood backing/solo part is basicly the chords

(in standard tuning) and some blues licks in A.

used

G or G A C D F

D[-0—-12–2–5–7–10–] If these chords sound ***ty
B[-0—-12–2–5–7–10–] maybe you have to tune to
G[-0—-12–2–5–7–10–] “Keith tuning” (open G)
D[-0—-12–2–5–7–10–] just like Keith!
G[-0—-12–2–5–7–10–]
X[———————–]

(Keith doesn’t have a 6th string, that’s what the X stands for)

Intro (open G-tuning)

D[————————————]
B[———-5—5—-3—3—3—3p2–]
G[–0h2-2—5–5—–4p2-4p2-4p2-4p2–]
D[–0h2-2—5-5———————–]
G[–0h2-2—————————–]
X[————————————]

This isn’t just the intro but also the verse (same chords)

It is played again and again but with some slight variations:

palm muting, hammer-ons and pull-offs, and some sliding.

Then there’s the verse and that’s played something like this:

play this three times

D[————–] I haven’t indicated how many times each
B[————–] chord is played. Just listen to the the
G[-7–10-12–7–] recording.(as for the timing)
D[-7–10-12–7–]
G[-7–10-12–7–]
X[————–]

then this

D[———————————–2–]
B[———————————–2–]
G[–7-7-7–5–2—0h2–0h2-0h2-0h2-2-2–]
D[–7-7-7–5–2—0h2–0h2-0h2-0h2-2—-]
G[–7-7-7–5–2—0h2–0h2-0h2-0h2-2—-]
X[————————————–]

and then back to verse/intro riff

Hope you can use this. I would like comments
