Led Zeppelin - Celebration Day

From the CD set 'Remasters'

Written by Jones/Page/Plant

Atlantic Records 82371-2

Celebration Day is a cool song that's easy to play if you

practice it for a while. Make sure you listen to it a few times before

you attempt to play it. The entire song is in 4/4 so it should be easy to

keep up. I think this song is in A. Special thanks to Josh M. Johnson

who tabbed the solo.

~ = vibrato or held note

x = percussive note with no pitch; muted note

. = staccato; mute the note immediately after striking it

Song Progression:

[Riff 1] x2

With [Riff 1]:

Her face is cracked from smiling,

all the fears that she's been hiding,

and it seems that pretty soon

evr'ybody's gonna know.

And her voice is sore from shouting,

cheering winners who are losing,

and she wonders if their days are few

and soon they'll have to go.

[Riff 1] once more, then

With [Riff 2]: (chords shown here for reference)

C G

My, my, my, I'm so happy,

Bb F

I'm gonna join the band.

C G

We are gonna dance and sing in celebration,

Bb F E

we are in the promised land.

With [Riff 1]:

She hears them talk of new ways

to protect the home she lives in,

Then she wonders what it's all about

when they break down the door.

Her name is Brown or White or Black;

you know her very well.

You hear her cries of mercy

as the winners toll the bell.

With [Riff 2]:

My, my, my, I'm so happy,

I'm gonna join the band.

We are gonna sing and dance in celebration,

we are in the promised land.

With [Riff 1]:

There is a train that leaves the station

heading for your destination,

But the price you pay to nowhere

has increased a dollar more. Yes, it has!

And if you walk you're gonna get there

although it takes a little longer,

And when you see it in the distance

you will wring your hands and moan.

Repeat [Riff 1] until fade out
