Subject: Four Sticks

b = Bend

v = Downstroke

For the main Riff (get a pen, It's so complex, you'll need to

write this down), Jimmy Page uses a guitar on distortion. For

the Riff 2, Page uses an acoustic 6 string. And for the part

played with the synthesizer, he plays both an acoustic and an

electric.

Lyrics:

Oh, baby, it's crying time (Riff 1)

Oh, baby, I've got to fly

Got to try to find a way

Got to try to get away

Cause you know I got to get away from you babe

Oh, baby, the river's red

Ah, baby, in my head

There's a funny feeling going on

I don't think I can hold out long

And when the owls cry in the night (Riff 2)

Oh, baby, when the pines begin to cry

Baby, baby, how do you feel?

If the rivers run dry, baby, how would you feel?

(Riff 1)

Craze, baby, rainbow's end

Oh, baby, it's just a den for those who hide

Who hide their love to the depths of life

And ruin dreams that we all knew so babe

And when the owls cry in the night (Riff 2)

Oh, baby, when the pines begin to cry

Baby, baby, how do you feel?

If the rivers run dry, baby, how would you feel?

Ah, baby how do you feel

(Riff 3)

Oh, brave I endure (Riff 1)

Ooh, yeah, strong sheilds of love

They can hold the wrath of those who walk

And the boots of those who march

Baby, through the Roads of Time so long ago (Riff 1)
