Subject: TAB:Tangerine

Here  is another slightly different version of  "Tangerine", by Led
Zeppelin.   Jimmy uses a 12 string so it's sounds  slightly  different if
you're using a  6.
Key:

^  bend                   |o--------o|
r  release                |o--------o|   repeat
[  ]  harmonics       x  / y   slide

Tune down 1/4 step.

Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Bryant Wanna Be	#1 by Bryant Matthews at Apr 4, 1976 at 6:49 PM EST
	it is wonderful. robert plant probably has the best voice i've ever heard.

No Picture keith Wanna Be	#2 by keith mckinlay at Apr 17, 1982 at 7:02 AM EST
	Not a lot of lyrics...but beautiful lyrics none the less. I love this song. It is by far one of my favorite Led Zeppelin songs. Just the guitar alone makes the song worth listening to. I especially like the pause before he says/sings "And I do." That just seems to add to the song even more.

No Picture phoen Average	#3 by phoen bay at Nov 8, 1983 at 10:07 PM EST
	Favorite Line: "I Was Her Love, She Was My Queen, And Now A Thousand Years In Between"

No Picture Ace Average	#4 by Ace Of Spades at Mar 22, 1987 at 6:24 PM EST
	This is currently my favorite zep song. Like some of the people before me posted, I think this is a great song to listen to when your heart is broken. This is one of those songs that means different things at different times in your life. If I had to choose one song to listen to for the rest of my life, this would be it!

No Picture Alexander Wanna Be	#5 by Alexander Taule at Apr 23, 1987 at 9:54 AM EST
	Beautiful, amazing song that should be better known. When III came out Zep got a lot of guff for having too much light music... I guess the critics forgot the acoustics on I and II. Point is, this is an amazing song. It definately deserves more radio play...

No Picture Basstard Professional	#6 by Basstard at Sep 28, 2001 at 12:30 AM EST
	my father told me that when he broke up with his high school sweetheart he listened to this song over and over...and now that I'm going through the same thing (well, college sweetheart)...i see in what state he was in...nothing like some 70's Blues to really dig into your soul

No Picture Will Wanna Be	#7 by Will Hay at May 26, 2002 at 12:59 PM EST
	By far my favourite zeppelin song. you have to listen to it all alone with your headphones as loud as they go and ah.....beautiful. When I did that, i literally cried. Yeah, and Robert's voice is at it's sexiest(well, not quite)
