Zeppelin - How Many More Times

From the CD 'Led Zeppelin'
Written by Bonham/Jones/Page
Atlantic Records 82632-4

This is from part air guitar, part improvisation, so there are
bound to be mistakes. Lyrics were taken from Stuart Christopherson's
version of this song, in chord format (smc@comserver.canberra.edu.au).
The original tab was done by Chaos (s442223@nexus.yorku.ca). The song is
in E. Standard tuning [EADGBe] (low to high).

| = not a standard bar line; just used to separate music
~ = vibrato or held note
h = hammer on
p = pull off
s = slide
b = bend string up to indicated pitch/fret
r = release bend to indicated string/fret
tr = trill; play the note(s) indicated rapidly and repeatedly (same thing
as tremolo picking)
o \_
o / repeat sign (always look for these!)

tablature, only turned on its side. Tilt your head clockwise to read.

When I give you all my love please, please be true.

I'll give you all I got to give, rings, pearls and all.
I'll give you all I've got to give, rings, pearls and all.

I've got to get you together baby.

I'm sure, sure you're gonna crawl.

[Guitar Solo] - Wish I could transcribe it! Sounds like a solo over E and
D on rhythm guitar

I can only tab the ending.

Repeat first section as necessary, then do the last bit.

I was a young man, I couldn't resist
Started thinking it over, just what I had missed.
Got me a girl and I kissed her and then and then
Whoops, oh Lordy, well I did it again.
Now I got ten children of my own.
I got another child on the way, that makes eleven.
You know I'm in constant heaven.
I know it's all right in my mind
I got a little schoolgirl and she's all mine.
I can't get through to her cause it doesn't permit

Start hitting E [x7999x]

But I'm gonna give her everything I've got to give.

E E
Oh Rosie, oh girl
E E
Oh Rosie, oh girl
E E
Steal away now, steal away
E E
Steal away baby, steal away
E E
Little Robert Anthony wants to come and play.
E
Why don't you come to me baby?
E E E
Steal away, all right, all right.

Ain't need to run

Cause I've got you in the sights of my gun.....
