Led Zeppelin - Moby Dick

    From the CD 'Led Zeppelin II'
        Written by Bonham/Jones/Page
        Atlantic Records 82633-2

    This song is in 4/4, dropped-D tuning. It has been tabbed by many
people, including Simon Chiplin (scc92@ecs.soton.ac.uk), Joel Bruner
(brunej@rpi.edu), and myself from rand@ingress.com last year, but I had
it wrong too. Here is the correct version. The key is C.

Jimmy Pena - jimmy@walrus.com

| = not a standard bar line; just used to separate music
~ = vibrato or held note
h = hammer on
p = pull off
s = slide
b = bend string up to indicated pitch/fret
r = release bend to indicated string/fret
/ = slide up from infinity
\ = slide down into infinity
o \_
o /  repeat sign (always look for these!)
🎸
Accuracy Rating: - Votes: -
[x35553] = fret box; this is a C chord - this is the same as standard
 tablature, only turned on its side. Tilt your head clockwise to read.

   Don't forget: Dropped-D tuning = [DADGBe] (low to high)
