LED ZEPPELIN - "carouselambra" Tablature

Led Zeppelin - Carouselambra

From the CD 'In Through the Out Door'
Written by Jones/Page/Plant
Swan Song 16002 and/or Atlantic 92443-2

This file is mostly chords. The song is in C, the part I tabbed
out is in D, and the end is in G. Most of it is synth and/or keyboard, so
I have that here too. You can figure out which is keys and which is
guitar. Enjoy.
