The Immigrant Song tab by Led Zeppelin

Tabs

Recorded by Led Zeppelin on Led Zeppelin III(1970)

Copyright atlantic records.


Ok, there is a part at the beginning of this song that lasts only 3 seconds, that comes right before the main riff and is VERY quiet, but turn up the volume and you'll here it!

Here is the tab for it:
e|-----------------|
Chord diagramBB|-----------------|
Chord diagramG+G|-----------------|
Chord diagramD MajorD|-----------------|
Chord diagramA augmentedA|-----------6b8---|
Chord diagramE MajorE|-5-5-5-5-5-------|

Now, the world famous main riff:

e|---------------------------------------------|
Chord diagramBB|---------------------------------------------|
Chord diagramG+G|---------------------------------------------|
Chord diagramD MajorD|----------4-------------4-------------4------|
Chord diagramA augmentedA|---------------------------------------------|
Chord diagramE MajorE|--2--2-2-----2--2-2-2------2--2-2-2-------2--|

Play that 20 times(well the main riff 20 times not the above full phrase)

on top of that, Robert begins to sing and the tablature for the vocal part is:

e|---------------------------------------|
Chord diagramBB|--12-9--12-11----11----11----11-12-8---|
Chord diagramG+G|---------------------------------------|
Chord diagramD MajorD|---------------------------------------|
Chord diagramA augmentedA|---------------------------------------|
Chord diagramE MajorE|---------------------------------------|

Play that twice, then at the last repeat of the main riff, play these chords over the "Come To The land of the ice and snow" part

e|------------------------------------|
Chord diagramBB|-------2~---------------2~----------|
Chord diagramG+G|-------2~-----1~--1~----2~----------|
Chord diagramD MajorD|-11\---2~-----2~--2~----2~----------|
Chord diagramA augmentedA|-11\----------2~--2~----------------|
Chord diagramE MajorE|------------------------------9-8\--|

The only chords are Chord diagramA augmentedA major and Chord diagramE MajorE minor. Chord diagramA augmentedA major is the 2-2-2 and the Chord diagramE MajorE minor is the 1-2-2.

During the next part go back to the main riff.

Then during the last part of the verse play this:

e|--------------------------|
Chord diagramBB|--2-----------------------|
Chord diagramG+G|--2-----------------------|
Chord diagramD MajorD|--2---8---10--12---4-4-4--|
Chord diagramA augmentedA|------X---X---X----4-4-4--|
Chord diagramE MajorE|------6---8---10---2-2-2--|

then return to the main riff.

For the first part of the 2nd verse

play the first 3 chords of the above tab but with vibrato(~).

That's pretty much the entire song.. Besides the ending which is when you play the main riff 4 times and then play a Chord diagramD MajorD power open-position chord

The tab for that is:

e|---------------------------------------------|
Chord diagramBB|------------------5-----------------------5--|
Chord diagramG+G|------------------5-----------------------5--|
Chord diagramD MajorD|---------4--------5------------4----------5--|
Chord diagramA augmentedA|---------------------------------------------|
Chord diagramE MajorE|-2--2-2-----2--2------2--2-2-------2--2------|

Play this 7 times and then end on this tail of the main riff:

e|--------------|
Chord diagramBB|--------------|
Chord diagramG+G|--------------|
Chord diagramD MajorD|--------4--4--|
Chord diagramA augmentedA|-----------4--|
Chord diagramE MajorE|2--2-2-----2--|


Ok, I hope this has been helpful!

Also as a suggestion, if you are going to jam on this song, then it is cool if you and your bassist go back and forth the main riff and take turns soloing. Sounds particularly good if your soloing in Chord diagramF#F# blues!

Hope you enjoy!
