The other tabs of this song on OLGA are good and my tab of the main riff
differs only stylistically. The main reason for my submission is the solo,
which I had looked for on the internet for a while but couldn't find. I'd
like to thank Steve Ford for transcribing the essentials of it, which I have
hence flushed out in an intrepretation that I hope others find to be a good
rendering of Jimmy Page's flourish at the end of "The Ocean."
