After the last B-|---2-------------|

play this: A-|-----------------|

Then go on to one of the signature phrases of the song:

A-|--6-6-4----6-6-7----2-4-6-------------------------|
E-|--4-4------4-4-5----0-2-4-------------------------|
At other places, instead of ending with the picked notes, this phrase
can also end with a descending series of power chords: A5, F#5, E5.
Pretty much the rest of the song just mixes those phrases in different
ways, and since it would take me a year to say specifically where
everything goes, I'll let you figure that out.
The really short chords in the middle of the song that get muted really
fast after being struck I think have the following formations:
E B A
====== ====== ====== Right offhand I don't
xx999x xx987x xx765x remember the order, though.
As for the solo near the end, I fear that I might be terribly butchering
Page's beautiful solo, but here is a rough estimate of it:
Solo:

The author's notes:
Well, someone requested this song the other day, so I figured I'd sit down and
learn the damn thing. (BTW, thanks for the origional chord progression.)
As for how many times to play each part, listen to the recording. This is taking
far to long as is, and I don't have the time to tab out every measure. Just
listen for phrases that sound familiar and string them together.
I hope that didn't suck too bad. Remember, as always, repeat the phrases as
necessary.
Good Luck! And (as always) questions, comments, corrections, and additions are
very welcome.
