  Gallows Pole          X - percussive tone with no pitch
  Led Zeppelin III        ) - bends
                  / - slide
                 ~~~ - vibrato
                  ^ - hammer on / pull off

  To play this, page uses a 6 string acoustic to play the main part. And
  a distorted electric guitar in treble for the solo

  Main Riff:

e|---|----------------0--------0-----------5----|
B|---|---2--0--2------2--1-----1----/3--3------o|
G|---|---0-----0---0-----0--0--0-----0--0-------|  repeat
D|-2-|---2-----2---2-----2--2-------/4--4-------|
A|-0-|-------------------------------0---------o|
E|---|------------------------------------------|


                    All I have at the "Hangman, Hangman..
                    ..brother coming many a mile" is
                    mandolin.

Here is the silver/gold part.

e|-------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------o|
G|-------------------------------------|  repeat
D|-----2-----2--X--X--X--X--X--X--X----|
A|-----0-----0--X--X--X--X--X--X--X---o|
E|--3-----3----------------------------|


and the solo...
