Muir Manufacturing Pilot Plant Technician D.N.Muir@massey.ac.nz Department of Production Technology Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand From: ksm@eniac.seas.upenn.edu (Ken MacFarlane) I saw a request for this, so I thought I'd post it. This is my first real tab, so it may not be perfect. The song is not overly complex. There are three main riffs corresponding to the chords. Just play the tab for the appropriate chord. The tabs may not be perfect, but I know the chords are correct. Rhythm: all eighth notes, played in cut time. Intro: second half of the "D" tab.

Hopefully, I'll try to post a few other Zeppelin tabs if I get the chance. From: chorowit@us.oracle.com (Chuck (cntr-T.Ryan) Horowitz) Subject: Going To California TAB Going To California by Led Zeppelin This song has two acoustic guitars and a mandolin. However I only know the guitar parts so just play with notes for the mandolin stuff. Both guitars are tuned to DGDGBD.
