[More Notes]                                               
Nice idea for drum fill + guitar at same time to get &1xx 2xx 3x&       
Strum up with all fingers of right hand and then back down with thumb      
to play the snare for 1& then play snare and fingers together for          
2xx then just snare on 3 and then just fingers with bass for x&

A with run
  
Run is 3 triplets then final phrase - pluck with fingers and thumb and emphasise the one of each triplet

4 notes over 3 pattern B6 G7 x G7                                  
Actually can just play Dm7 Dm x Dm which alludes to line           
Horn line just before G                                            
Octaves - A-5+B-3 to A-9+B-6                                       
Fingering is important - play with 1 and 3                         
so can get to Gadd9 quickly

Play above all with downstrokes to get right feel                  
Means have to play snare hit quickly after down stroke

Some 
[Em] times, [G] I [C] feel, I've [G-Asus2] got to; 
[Em] [G] Run a- [C] way, I've [G-Asus2] got to; 
[Em] [G] Get A- [C] way, From the [G-Asus2] pain you 
[Em] drive in- [G] to the [C] heart [G-Asus2] of me. The 
[Em] love [G] we [C] share, [G-Asus2] seems to,
[Em] Go [G] no [C] where [G-Asus2] And I've 
[Em] lost [G] my [C] light, [G-Asus2] For I 
[Em] toss and [G] turn; I can't [C] sleep at [G-Asus2] night. 
 
[Chorus 1]
[E] Once I ran to you, [G] now I run from you,

[Em] [G] Run a- [C] way, I've [G-Asus2] got to; 
[Em] [G] Get A- [C] way [G-Asus2] You don't
[Em] really [G] want any [C] more [G-Asus2] from me to
[Em] make [G] things [C] right [G-Asus2] You need some
[Em] one to [G] hold you [C] tight. [G-Asus2] And you 
[Em] think love [G] is to [C] pray, [G-Asus2] But I'm 
[Em] sorry, [G] I don't [C] pray that [G-Asus2] way. 
 
[Chorus 2]
[E] Once I ran to you, [G] now I run from you,
[C] This tainted love you've given,

[Asus2] Take my tears and that's not nearly...
[Em] All, [G] Tainted [C] love, [G-Asus2] oh, oh, oh,
[Em] ..... [G] Tainted [C] love. [G-Asus2] ..................
 
[Verse 3]
Don't [Em] touch [G] me, [C] please, I [G-Asus2] can not 
[Em] stand the [G] way you [C] tease. [G-Asus2] I 
[Em] love you, though you [G] hurt me [C] so, [G-Asus2] Now I'm 
[Em] going to [G] pack my [C] things and [G-Asus2] go. 
 
[Outro]
[Em] [G] Tainted [C] love, [G-Asus2] oh, oh, oh,
[Em] [G] Tainted [C] love, [G-Asus2] oh, oh, oh.
[Em] [G] Tainted [C] love, [G-Asus2] oh, oh, oh,
[Em] [G] Tainted [C] love, [G-Asus2] oh, oh, oh. 
[Em] [G] Touch me, [C] baby, [G-Asus2] tainted love,
[Em] [G] Touch me, [C] baby, [G-Asus2] tainted love. 
[Em] [G] Tainted [C] love, [G-Asus2] oh, oh, oh,
