Tangerine by Led Zeppelin

Tabs 

[multiple versioins]

Actually, there was an addition to this, from another list member (Dan
someone from very hazy memory) which was the first chords (Chord diagramA minorAm Chord diagramAm7Am7 Chord diagramA minorAm ..)
should be Chord diagramA minorAm Chord diagramAm7Am7 Chord diagramA minorAm Chord diagramAsus2Asus2 or something like that.

Anyway, I play it like I've said (with the Chord diagramAsus2Asus2 chord) and it sounds
correct (If you listen to the song you should be able to hear 4 chords
before the Chord diagramG+G). So here's my revision:

 "'Measuring a summer's day...." (Just *HAD* to fix that!).

  Chord diagramA minorAm Chord diagramAm7Am7  Chord diagramA minorAm	Chord diagramAsus2Asus2 Chord diagramG+G  Chord diagramG+G  Chord diagramD MajorD
 --0----0----0----0----3----3----2--

Oh, yeah. There's two Chord diagramG+G chords after the Chord diagramA augmentedA sequence, then you strum the
Chord diagramD MajorD for the appropriate number of beats (I think 4). When you repeat the
sequence, it's *two* Chord diagramD MajorD chords then *two* Chord diagramC majorC chords (You should be able to
find a Chord diagramC majorC major fingering picture somewhere).

When I remember to bring in the damn book, I will hopefully be able to
give you the tab for the tinkly bit after 'grey'. You know - "Measuring
a summer's day, only find it slips away to grey The hours
they bring me pain".

I got this off ftp.maths.tcd.ie
enjoy.
"Here's most of Tangerine by Led Zeppelin. There is already one of these
floating round, but there's only a couple of chords. So I thought I would
attempt to get it down the way I play it - this is my first attempt
ever, so excuse any major cock-ups please.

I've ignored the "botched" intro on the album (Led Zeppelin III).

There are a couple of chord shapes which I need to explain:

Three chords based around Amin. which I'll call:

  Chord diagramA minorAm   Chord diagramA minorAm sus2  Chord diagramA minorAm sus4
      (Am2)   (Am4)
N ++++++  ++++++  ++++++
 ||||1|  ||||||  ||||1|
1 ++++++  ++++++  ++++++
 ||23||  ||23||  ||23||
2 ++++++  ++++++  ++++++
 ||||||  ||||||  ||||4|

And three chords based around Dmaj. which I'll call:

  Chord diagramD MajorD    Chord diagramD MajorD sus2  Chord diagramD MajorD sus4
      (D2)   (D4)
N ++++++  ++++++  ++++++
 ||||||  ||||||  ||||||
1 ++++++  ++++++  ++++++
 |||1|2  |||1||  |||1|2
2 ++++++  ++++++  ++++++
 ||||3|  ||||3|  ||||34

The opening sequence to the song. I've left in timing counts (the song
is in 4:4 as far as I can tell)..

[some picking is done around these chord shapes, but I can't be bothered working

Here is another slightly different version of "Tangerine", by Led
Zeppelin.  Jimmy uses a 12 string so it's sounds slightly different if
you're using a 6.
Key:

^ bend          |o--------o|
r release        |o--------o|  repeat
[ ] harmonics    x / y  slide

Tune down 1/4 step.
