Bass tabs
"Gallows Pole" Bass-Tab By Led Zeppelin
Off Led Zeppelin III
Transcribed By Ryan Klein
Well folks as far as I can tell,
there are only 4 parts to this song:
S S S S S S S S S S S S
-------------------------------------
-------------------------------------
-------------------------------------
--3--5--3--5-5--5--5--5--3--5--3--5--
S S S S S S S S S S S S
-----------------------------------
-----------------------------------
-----------------------------------
-5--5--5--5--3--5--3--5--5--5--5--5
This repeats a few times with an
occasional G-D or C-D transition
Then when the "Hangman" chorus
comes in:
Q E S S E S S Q Q E S
----------4----------------------
-7--5--7-----------4--5---7------
-------------5--7------------5--7
---------------------------------
S Q+ S S S Q E S S
------------4-----------------4--
--4--5---5------5--7----5--7-----
---------------------------------
---------------------------------
E S S Q E S S E S S
---------------------------------
-------4--5--5---4--2------------
-5--7-------------------5---3--2-
---------------------------------
Then back to the G-A-G-A-G-G-G-G
stuff again
The final part is thrown in at
various parts in the song, and
pretty much dominates the ending:
E S S S S S S S S S
----------------------------------
---5--4--2------------------------
-------------5--3--2--------------
-----------------------5--3--5--3-
I hope this helps. It may not be
right, but I think its close to
the actual thing.
