Whoever wanted All of My Love(a great song), i unfortunatley don't know it. Anyway a few people asked for this one, so here it is... The Ocean by Led Zeppelin Intro -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------2-------2-----------------------------------------2----------2------------ -----------------5---2------------0---2---5------0---2-----------------0-----2-- ------------------------3-------------------------------------4----------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You repeat that a couple of times. In some of the repeats of that part there's this thing that Page throws in there. It's just a bunch of Palm Muted C's(5'th string 3rd fret). Also you can substute the 5's for open's on the next string, but i think Page plays it with 5's Main Riff You use the following chords. They're barre chords, but i don't know they're specific names(i.e. Gsus5). But I know the roots, so that'll have to do. Chord EADGBE D 5577xx C 3355xx A 577xxx G 355xxx The riff goes... DDDD CCCC AGADDDD Please excuse the messiness of the intro, i did it using VI and i'm not very proficient at vi. >From "krinks@apk.net"@apk.net Mon Dec 9 19:49:02 1996 Received: from junior.apk.net (junior.apk.net [206.183.12.46]) by draco.bv.sgi.net (951211.SGI.8.6.12.PATCH1042/8.6.5) with ESMTP id TAA13773 for ; Mon, 9 Dec 1996 19:49:01 -0500 Received: from LOCALNAME (pm1-9.lorain.apk.net [207.54.141.48]) by junior.apk.net (8.8.4/8.8.3) with SMTP id TAA00846 for ; Mon, 9 Dec 1996 19:46:37 -0500 (EST) Message-Id: <199612100046.TAA00846@junior.apk.net> Date: Mon, 09 Dec 1996 19:42:41 -0800 From: "Jeffrey K.

Questions or comments? E-mail me at krinks@apk.net Singing in the sunshine, laughing in the rain hitting on the moonshine, rocking in the grain Ain't no time to pack my bag, my foots outside the door Got a date, can't be late for the hopes hailla ball. Singing to an ocean, I can hear the oceans roar Play for free, play for me and play for a whole lot more Singing of the good things and the sun that lights the day Singing to the Ocean, has the ocean lost its way? Sitting round singing songs till the night turns into day Used to sing on the mountains, but the mountains washed away Now I'm singing all my songs to the girl who won my heart She is only three years old its a real fine way to start.
