In addition to the above mentioned,
I play an uptempo version of McLean's "Castles In the Air" in drop D. Also "Living in the Country" by Pete Seeger. and "Ponies" by Jeffrey Hawthrone Bullock. and sometimes "Harvest Moon" by Neil Young. |

"A Simple Song" by Chris Stapleton is a finger-picker capo'd to suit your voice.

"Green, Green Rocky Road," by Dave Van Ronk. The only song I know in Drop D. Consequently, my favorite in that tuning. And a great one at that.

I probably play almost 20% of my repertoire in Drop D or Double Drop D.
Here's a few: Drop D Doctor My Eyes - Jackson Browne Against All Odds - Phil Collins All My Loving - Beatles Beeswing - Richard Thompson By the Time I Get to Phoenix - Jimmy Webb Colder Weather - Zac Brown Dry - Ron Hynes Everybody's Talkin' - Fred Neil Love Song - Sara Bareilles Lungs - TVZ My Maria - B.W. Stevenson Overseas - Jason Isbell Relatively Easy - Jason Isbell Rock 'n' Roll Song - Valdy Southern Nights - Glen Campbell/Allen Toussainte Sylvia's Mother - Dr. Hook/Shel Silverstein The Air That I Breathe - The Hollies The Great Beyond - R.E.M. The Road Goes On Forever - Joe Ely/Robert Earl Keen The Way - Fastball My Life - Billy Joel Double Drop D Songs She Sang in the Shower - Jason Isbell I Can Still Make Cheyenne - George Strait/Aaron Barker Keep the Customer Satisfied - S&G Whitehouse Road - Tyler Childers Starman - David Bowie 867-5309(Jenny) - Tommy Tutone Beg, Steal or Borrow - Ram Lamontagne Birthday - The Sugarcubes Iris - Goo Goo Dolls Fall Down As the Rain - Joe Crookston First We Take Manhattan - Jennifer Warnes/Leonard Cohen Jitterbug Boy - Tom Waits Mama Tried - Merle Haggard The Ride - David Allan Coe Mari-Mac - Great Big Sea/traditional Martha - Tom Waits The Chair - George Strait/Hank Cochrane & Dean Dillon You Should Probably Leave - Chris Stapleton Whenever I'm arranging a song for solo performance, I play around with the key, capo placement and tuning. I'm sure many of these weren't originally recorded in an alternate tuning; I've just found they sound best for me that way. There's a capo on many of my versions as well. Once you're in Double Drop D, dropping the 5th string down to G puts you in Open G. There are hundreds of songs in Open G. Drop the 6th string down to C and you have Open G/C (another very versatile tuning).

I've been spending time in double drop D lately. Cinammon Girl is a fun tune to play, and translates to acoustic really well. Song for George by Eric Johnson is where I spend a lot of time, a very challenging tune that is really cool, and I do my own jam off it that uses lots of the voicings.
In Drop D, I do a few blues tunes, Big Road Blues, the original Tommy Johnson tune is great. I also enjoy Lucy Mae, Buddy Guy version, a really cool riff using the drop D that really keeps the tune rolling along. Lots of great stuff once you get going with these tunings.
