Led Zeppelin — Gallows Pole (Btab)

Well folks as far as I can tell,
there are only 4 parts to this song:

S S S S S S S S S S S S
————————————-
————————————-
————————————-
—3—5—3—5-5—5—5—5—3—5—3—5—

S S S S S S S S S S S S
————————————
————————————
————————————
-5—5—5—5—3—5—3—5—5—5—5—5

This repeats a few times with an
occasional G-D or C-D transition

Then when the «Hangman» chorus
comes in:

Q E S S E S S Q Q E S
———-4———————-
-7—5—7————4—5—7——
————-5—7————5—7
———————————

S Q+ S S S Q E S S
————4——————4—
—4—5—5——5—7—-5—7——
———————————
———————————

E S S Q E S S E S S
———————————
——-4—5—5—4—2————
-5—7——————-5—3—2-
———————————

Then back to the G-A-G-A-G-G-G-G
stuff again

The final part is thrown in at
various parts in the song, and
pretty much dominates the ending:

E S S S S S S S S S
———————————-
—5—4—2————————
————-5—3—2—————
————————5—3—5—3-

I hope this helps. It may not be
right, but I think its close to
the actual thing.
