There were also some arguments about what the tuning was. I believe that the tuning given is an open F, or something like that. Anyway, this is a cool song, and I tried to give the rhythm where it was important to make the groove easier to find. This Transcription comes from Led Zeppelin Complete, Volume 1, so you can blame me for typos, but not mistakes in the transcription itself.

The second time you play it, Plant says "Come one now, well let me tell you what you're miss-in', miss-in' round them brick walls." Then, immediately after that, he plays the intro fingerpicking part with a few changes (of course...:>). --------------------0--0----(0)------|--------------------0--0--0-(0)------- --12--0--7----------------------3----|--12--0--0--7--0----------------3----- --12--0--7--0--0--2/4--4-------------|--12--0--0--7--0--2/4--4-----4-------- --12--0--0--0--0----------5--------5-|--12--0--0--7--0-------------------5-- --12-------------------------0-------|--12---------------------------------- -------------------------------------|-------------------------------------- ---------0---------0------------------|---------0--------0---------------- -----3---------3---------3---3---0----|-----3--------3-------3---0---0---- -2/4--------4---------4--------2---0--|-2/4--------4-------4-------2---0-- -------5---------5---------5----------|-------5--------5-------5---------- --------------------------------------|----------------------------------- --------------------------------------|----------------------------------- P P P P --------------------------------------|----------------------------------- -------3-3-(3)---3-------3-3-(3)------|---------3-(3)-----3-------3------- -2/4-0-0----4--0-0-0-2-0-0-------0----|-2/4-0------4--0-0---2-0--------0-- ------------------------------2--0----|-------0-----------------0---2--0-- --------------------------------------|----------------------------------- --------------------------------------|----------------------------------- This jumps directly to a part where he just wails on the open strings and then plays four of the 3rd fret cascades...after this part, he goes back to the main melody part that is already written above, sings one last verse, and then the song is over! This is the first transcription I have ever done, and it took me about 3 hours to type out from start to finish. If anyone finds any mistakes or anything, write me, and I will try to fix 'em. I am posting this to alt.guitar.tab, and it will probably work it's way to the nevada ftp site.

I can play this song a little, and so far as i can tell this is the exact tuning. If you try this with open E, then the only chords are simply barring all six strings at the third, fourth, and fifth frets (well, not at the same time). The little intro bit is simply all six strings at the twelfth fret, then a six string harmonic on the seventh. The notes played are mostly the e on the fourth string (fourth fret) and the d on the same string (second fret) with a lot of pull-off's and hammer-on's. If anyone tries this and decides that it works better than the other posted version, let me know and i'll post the whole thing in tab.
