This next measure is the main riff...played once before the drums ^^^^^^^
 and then 4 times total before the lyrics start.

important here...just get in the groove...

 fine

Repeat above 6 measures a total of twice, behind lyrics...then it changes.
The timing here is great, a measure of 4/4, one 9/8, one 4/4 and one 7/8.

The next 4 measures are the same chords and at the end, 2 measures of the 
cascade tacked on...

Then the whole thing basically repeats once again from the beginning, 
but the next time you come to the end, instead of the above cascade, play
this...a little sliding thing that introduces a new riff for the bridge verse.

This is the same notes, just a different rhythm, played twice over the bridge.

After the above stuph, there is a part linking back to the intro riff, 
basically play the 4/4, 9/8, 4/4, 7/8 part from above again, twice.  The
second time you play it, Plant says "Come one now, well let me tell you
what you're miss-in', miss-in' round them brick walls." Then, immediately
after that, he plays the intro fingerpicking part with a few changes
(of course...:>).

This jumps directly to a part where he just wails on the open strings and
then plays four of the 3rd fret cascades...after this part, he goes back to
the main melody part that is already written above, sings one last verse, 
and then the song is over!

This is the first transcription I have ever done, and it took me about 3 
hours to type out from start to finish.  If anyone finds any mistakes or
anything, write me, and I will try to fix 'em.  I am posting this to
alt.guitar.tab, and it will probably work it's way to the nevada ftp site.
