It has been tabbed by many people, including Simon Chiplin (scc92@ecs.soton.ac.uk), Joel Bruner (brunej@rpi.edu), and myself from rand@ingress.com last year, but I had it wrong too. Here is the correct version. The key is C. Jimmy Pena - jimmy@walrus.com | = not a standard bar line; just used to separate music ~ = vibrato or held note h = hammer on p = pull off s = slide b = bend string up to indicated pitch/fret r = release bend to indicated string/fret / = slide up from infinity \ = slide down into infinity o \_ o / repeat sign (always look for these!) [x35553] = fret box; this is a C chord - this is the same as standard tablature, only turned on its side. Tilt your head clockwise to read. Don't forget: Dropped-D tuning = [DADGBe] (low to high) [Riff 1] e:-------------------------------| B:-------------------------------| G:o-----------------------------o| D:o-----------------------------o| A:----5--5--3--------------------| E:-0-----------5--3~-5--3--5--3--| [Riff 2] e:-------------------------------| B:-------------------------------| G:o-----------------------------o| D:o--5--5--3--0-----------------o| A:---------------1~-3--1--3--1---| E:-5-----------------------------| [Riff 3] e:--------------------------------------------------------------| B:--------------------------------------------------------------| G:-------------------------------------------5(b7)--5--2--------| D:---7--7p5-----7--7---5--7-0-5-5-5-5-5--3---------------5--3---| A:-----------7-------7---------------------5--------------------| E:-7------------------------------------------------------------| Song progression: [Riff 1] x4 [Riff 2] x2 [Riff 1] x2 [Riff 3] x1 [Riff 1] x3 [Solo 1]: e:-----------10----------------------------------------------------| B:--------10------------------------------------------12--10\------| G:-12b14---------12b14r12-10----12-10-----------------12--10\------| D:---------------------------12--------12~--12-10-12---------------| A:-----------------------------------------------------------------| E:-----------------------------------------------------------------| [Riff 1] x1 [Solo 2]: (** rake these very quickly) hold bend and strike e:----------------------------------------------------------13b15----| B:--------13b15~13b15~13b15~13b15~13b15~13b15~13b15------------------| G:-------------------------------------------------------------------| D:-------------------------------------------------------------------| A:-------------------------------------------------------------------| E:-------------------------------------------------------------------| ** ** e:-10----13b15----10-------------------------------------------------| B:--10-------------10------------------------------------------------| G:---12-------------12-----------------------------------------------| D:-------------------------------------------------------------------| A:-------------------------------------------------------------------| E:-------------------------------------------------------------------| [Riff 2] x1 [Solo 3]: faster e:-3p1p0--------------------3p1p0------------------------------------| B:-------3p1p0--------------------3p1p0------------------------------| G:-------------4p2p0--------------------4p2p0------------------------| D:-------------------3p2p0--------------------3p2p0------------------| A:--------------------------------------------------3p2p0------------| E:-------------------------------------------------------------------| [Riff 1] x1 [Solo 4]: e:-----------------------------------10------------------------------| B:----------------------------10-12-----13b15--13b15~~~\-------------| G:-----------------7-7-7-9s11----------------------------------------| D:-----------7-9-----------------------------------------------------| A:-5-5-5-7s9---------------------------------------------------------| E:-------------------------------------------------------------------| [Riff 3] x1 ;end on a D5 chord [xx023x] [Drum solo] [Riff 1] x1 [Riff 2] x1 [Riff 3] x1 Then play D [x5777x], C [x3555x], A [x0222x] From: Simon Chiplin I've never heard the song myself, but here's a friend's transcription of that Led Zeppelin classic (!!??)...
