You Shook Me tab by Led Zeppelin

Guitar Tab

You Shook Me by Willie Dixon and J.B. Lenoir
   performed by Led Zeppelin on Led Zeppelin

    Wow, my first tab, and from the greatest band to ever play.  I figured
    this out by myself, no books (hence the many errors) Ok, this is a
    basic slow blues, in E, as far as I can tell.

    Intro:

         Ok, now we have an organ solo, harmonica solo, and a guitar solo.
         Here are the basic chords played during all three.  This is not

         entirely accurate, but it's good enough for me.  Sorry I couldn't
         tab out the guitar solo, it's too fast for me to tab, but I can
         fake it on a good day...
