Okay, here`s the TAB for «Good Times, Bad Times» by Led Zeppelin:
E5 [: D A :]x5
e———————————————————————
B—T—9-9-r—9-9-r—9-9-r—9-9-r—9-9-r—9-9
——7-7————
G—A—9-9-r—9-9-r—9-9-r—9-9-r—9-9-r—9-9

D—B—9-9-r—9-9-r—9-9-r—9-9-r—9-9-r—9-9
—-7-7-7-4-7——
A——7-7-r—7-7-r—7-7-r—7-7-r—7-7-r—7-7
—/5——5—4—5-6
E——0-0-r—0-0-r—0-0-r—0-0-r—0-0-r—0-0-r——————-
This is the intro, taking you up to the chorus. («Good Times, Bad
Times…») There are actually two guitars here, but I`ve tried to simplify
things as much as possible for one. Also, watch for minor changes in the
fingering, as there are changes not only between the hammers-on and slides of
the two guitar parts, but between each time the bit is repeated. My symbols
above the TAB, «[: :]x mean to repeat everything betweeen the brackets and
colons, and do it the number of times followed by «x», in this case five times.
-Dave
Here`s the chorus, in which I`ll TAB out the two guitar parts
separately, as there is quite a difference:
Guitar II:

(«r» stands
A——9-9-9—7/12—12-12—14-14-14—7/9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9—
for «rest»)
E——7-7——7/12—12-12—12-12-12—5/7-7—-7-7-7-7-7—
Guitar I:

At this point «Sixteen I fell in love…» both guitars play the same
part, which is:
[:F#5 E5F#5 E5F#5 F#5 E5 F#5 E5F#5:]x3
e——————————————————
B—T—————————————————
G—A———-11^9-11—4^2-4-x———11^9-11-4^2-4^2-
D—B———-11-9-11—4-2-4-x———11-9-11-4-2-4-2-
A——4-4————————4———————
E——2-2———————-2-2———————
Watch for changes in which notes are struck and where rests are taken
each time you repeat.
Now the chorus comes again, but this time it`s in B, use chord changes
between B (x2444x), Esus4 (00222x), and E (02210x). At «when my woman left
home…» go to a C# (x4666x) on «woman», to a B (799877) to an F#
(x9.11.11.11x). Hopefully, you get the picture. I could TAB it out, but it`s
not that complex, and I`m feeling lazy.

The letters following the numbers refer to bends, b for a whole step, h
for a half step, q for a quarter bend. In some cases there are combinations,
«bb» means two full steps, while «bh» would mean to bend the note one and a
half steps. You probably can also tell that guitar II has it`s own variation
through much of the solo, which I haven`t included. I hope this can do some
good, as I am sure there are mistakes in my transcription, and it may be
difficult to interpret overall. Oh well. E-mail me if you find glaring
errors, or simply correct and repost.
Coming next: «Behind Blue Eyes», by The Who.
