Led Zeppelin - Ten Years Gone guitar tab
Your rating:
# From: ebd@gtech.com (Edward DaCosta) Heres the words and tab for Led Zep's Ten Years Gone... Ten Years Gone from Physical Graffitti Words and Music by Jimmy Page and Robert Plant Transcribed by Ted DaCosta Page uses Drop D tuning for this song (low E tuned down from E to D) You don't have to but Ive tabbed everything for this tuning. First I'll provide the basic parts to the song and then provide instruction on how to string them together. Sorry about the unorthodox approach but this song is a tough one to type in. I read an article about how this song was painfully pieced together by the band from a number of ideas that Page had developed. With all the changes its evident there are mini songs within the song. Check out the great rhythym guitar behind the solos. I strongly recommend listening to the recording to get the right timing for all the parts. I really didn't double check the tab, so if it doesn't sound right it probably isn't. By the way Page sure wrote some great songs. I'll try to post more Zeppelin if people are interested.

] [ Guitar : Part 3 ] Verse: [ Guitar : Part 1 ] Think as it was, then again it will be. Though the course may change sometimes, rivers always reach the sea. [ Guitar : Part 2 (no vocals) ] [ Guitar : Part 3 (vocals start in second measure) ] Blind spies of fortune, each has several ways on the wings of maybe, downing birds of prey. Kind of makes me feel sometime I didn't have to grow. For as a eagle leaves a nest, I got so far to go. [ Guitar : Part 1 ] Changes fill my time, baby thats all right with me, in the midst I think of you and how it used to be. [ Guitar : Part 2 ] [ Guitar : Part 4 ] played behind solo 1, leads into Part 5 with vocals [ Guitar : Part 5 ] Did you ever really need somebody and really need'em bad Did You ever really want somebody the best stuff you ever had Will you ever remember me baby, did it feel so good Cause it was just the first time and you knew you would [ Guitar : Part 6] played behind solo 2. [ Guitar : Part 3] Do the eyes not sparkle, senses go again tasting love along the way, see a feather spring Gonna make you a meal sometime, it'll help you know We are eagles all one loves, the message in our soul [ Guitar : Part 1 ] Fixin in my dreams with great surprise to me I never thought I'd see your face, the way it used to be [ Guitar : Part 2 ] Oh darling, Oh darlin. [ Guitar : Part 3 ] Repeat and fade etc. Note on the outro Page overdubs a riff similar to Part 3 but played with only single notes (no double stops) in the 10th position. Listen to the recording. Well, here's the solo to Ten Years Gone. I did not tab it out, I'm merely posting it. Please make any corrections you feel are necessary.
