Part 3: heavy guitar sound with distortion (remember drop D tuning)
Page overdubs to get that wall of sound here.  I think a sitar was also
overdubbed.

Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture klown Rhythm Player	#1 by klown at May 7, 2006 at 12:41 AM EST
	PURE POETRY. It seems that this guy(Mr. Plant) had either a one night stand with this woman or was a past girlfriend of his and had the fortunateness to reunite with her after a long period of time. It also hints on a fate / zen kind of love that had the chance to be reopened after a long time of being apart.

No Picture mat Wanna Be	#2 by mat bar at Jul 29, 2006 at 9:43 AM EST
	Definitely my favourite song by Led Zeppelin. The guitar is amazing and just hits me in such a way that I almost fall to my knees each time I hear it. The lyrics are so beautiful. Plant has basically said what the song is about, as stated a few comments above me.. a girl he was with said it was either her or the music, and he picked the music. I get the feeling that he's looking back on the relationship, remembering what she does in fact mean to him. Personally, it reminds me of my nephew who was killed a year and a half ago.. especially the somber guitar riff. It reminds me of my dad telling me he was killed, and walking in the rain for a few hours in a complete daze, trying desperately to convince myself that he wasn't dead.

No Picture Dylan Average	#3 by Dylan Ruiz at Nov 4, 2006 at 8:10 AM EST
	Wow...this song is second to only the Rain Song by Led Zeppelin...I absolutely love this song...almost brought me to tears...and it will be stuck in your head for the rest of the day if you listen to it...(L)...

No Picture The Mexican Who Average	#4 by The Mexican Who's Living Under Satan's Wing at Nov 25, 2006 at 6:24 AM EST
	I LOVE this song. It's so sad. Yea, it's about Robert's girlfriend 10 years before that made him choose between her and the music. What a bitch!! Wise decision. The girl was an idiot though. I guess he really loved her though. Can you imagine how he felt??

No Picture Jer Average	#5 by Jer at Nov 27, 2006 at 4:55 PM EST
	the guitar playing really is very very good in this song, the guitar is better than most led zeppelin songs in my opinion, jimmy page is the man.

No Picture SOCIETY DWELLIN Average	#6 by SOCIETY DWELLIN MOTHER FUCKER! at May 3, 2007 at 10:36 PM EST
	Lyrically one of Led Zeppelin's best. You could also say that for the riff. I mean 14 guitars overdubbed? The wall of sound that is created from it all just makes you realize that Jimmy Page was almost creating art. Its one of those songs that are not recognized up to the standards as like, Stairway
