   			The Ocean  
				by Led Zeppelin

Intro----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------2-------2-----------------------------------------2----------2-----------------------------5---2------------0---2---5------0---2-----------------0-----2--------------------------3-------------------------------------4-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  You repeat that a couple of times.  In some of the repeats of that part 
there's this thing that Page throws in there.  It's just a bunch of Palm 
Muted C's(5'th string 3rd fret).  Also you can substute the 5's for open's on
the next string, but i think Page plays it with 5's

Main Riff
  You use the following chords.  They're barre chords, but i don't know they're
specific names(i.e.  Gsus5).  But I know the roots, so that'll have to do.

  Chord     EADGBE
    D       5577xx
    C       3355xx
    A       577xxx
    G       355xxx

  The riff goes...
   DDDD  CCCC  AGADDDD

    Please excuse the messiness of the intro, i did it using VI and i'm not 
very proficient at vi.

This song is The Ocean by Led Zepplin. The very last notes where you slide
down, I believe that they are right. I am not sure but I do not have a les 
paul to get the exact sound so I don't know.
Riff A  Play 4 times.

e--------------------------------------------------------------------\B--------------------------------------------------------------------|G--------------------------------------------------------------------|D-7--7--7--5-------------5--------7-----7-----5--7-------------------|A------------------5--7-----5--7-----5-----5-------------------------|E-------------8\5----------------------------------------------------/

When the singing comes in you play 4 chords. D,C,A,G.

e--------------------------------------------------------------------\B--------------------------------------------------------------------|G-7-7-7-7--5-5-5-5-----------5-7-7-7---------------------------------|D-7-7-7-7--5-5-5-5--7--5--7--5-7-7-7---------------------------------|A-5-5-5-5--3-3-3-3--7--5--7--3-5-5-5---------------------------------|E-------------------5--3--5------------------------------------------/Riff B

The last part consists of 2 chords D and E. 
I believe this is right but it is hard to hear and I don't have one of those
things that slows it down or that you can set just to hear rythym or whatever.
This is how I play it. The strum is eighth notes for 4 beats.
1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and. Then switch.

e--------------------------------------------------------------------\B-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-----------------------------------|G-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2--4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-----------------------------------|D--------------------------------------------------------------------|A--------------------------------------------------------------------|E--------------------------------------------------------------------/  D                E

I am not sure about this either cause I don't have anything to slow this down
but this part where it slows down is out of a penatonic scale in E starting
in 7th position.

e--------------------------------------------------------------------\B--------------------------------------------------------------------|G-9--7-----------------------9--7------------------------------------|D-------9--7-----------------------9--7------------------------------|A-------------10--7--5-------------------10--7--5--7-----------------|E-----------------------7--------------------------------------------/

You know how many times it is played. That is jus how I play it.
So that's it. If you have any cool tab or like guitar or whatever
