"Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You" - Led Zeppelin
(Best viewed with fixed-width font, like Courier New)
The main parts of the song are already tabbed and are available
www.led-zeppelin.org . This is a supplement to that tab. I got most of
the appregio info from Led Zeppelin Complete.
h - hammer on
p - pull off
s - slide
b - bend up
r - release
~ - sustain note (keep it bent)
pb - prebend ("last half" of a bend). Bend the string, then strum it,
then release. You should only hear the note getting lower.
Page slightly alters the last notes of the C/G appregios as below during
certain points in the verse. The last two notes of the appregios are
the same as the Am appregio. I will not tab out the whole song, but
listen for when they occur.

Forgive me if I cannot do justice to this incredible descending
lick, deciphering it is like trying to empty a leaking boat with
a spoon.
Guitar solo 2 (electric) (4:16)
-every note has a slight bend (1/4 or 1/2), but the last note of each
group is emphasized. The fret numbers seem correct to me, but do not
follow the beat I have tabbed too closely. Listen to the song to get
the feel.

*strum the B string when the note is still bent, thus producing a
"fake" 11th fret. Again, listen to the song.

That's the rest of it. I love this song and it's fitting that
my first tab is a Led Zeppelin song. If you have any comments
or corrections, email me at [email protected]
