I play bass for my school band and can play very good. My bass teacher is really good and
taught me this song. I know most people would say their bass teahcer is really good but
my bass teacher knows what he is talking about. This tab may look very complicated but it
is not at all if you just look through and learn one part at a time. It took me awhile
to learn it but I can play it perfectly. The song is completly in order. Please email
me if I did something wrong, but I am sure this is 100% correct.
This a great great tune. ALthough I do not know what Robert Plant is saying in almost all
his songs.
