Also I saw some discussion on the line
"save me from the wrath of this man" this sounds correct to me
--
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----|

All I have at the "Hangman, Hangman..
..brother coming many a mile" is
mandolin.
Here is the silver/gold part.
