If I Were A Carpenter Tab
Artist: Robert Plant
Song: If I were a carpenter
Album: the Fate of Nations LP
Tunning: standard
Tabbed By: INIDE NATION
Hey! Here's the tab of a very simple Plant's song even though it is
very beautiful, especially if you can play guitar...
There is just 2 riffs in this song
there are very simple words.
I wouldn't recommend to play it on an electric guitar
but it sounds better on the accoustic guitar.
So here it is,
First of all: ~ - means vibrato.
Intro part:

Play intro part two times.
It was kinda intro,
then there are the same chords and similar arpegios.
There is a perfect violin solo in the middle of the song, but I'm not the
best
violin player...
So when Robert starts singing it something like this:
(Variate the arpegios as you want; just don't change the chords; )
E-|------------------------9-----------------------|
A-|--6--------------------------11-----------------|
D-|-----8------------------------------11----------|
G-|--------8---------------------------------------|
B-|------------------------------------------------|

If I were a carpenter, you ...

Would you marry me anyway, ...
And so on,
Led Zeppelin and Robert Plant forever!
