"In through the Out Door"
(Jones/Page/Plant)
Progression:
[G] [A] [A] [G] [A] [A] [G] [A] [A] [G] [A] [A] [B] [C#]
Repeat this 8 times:
[x00231] [x02220]
[Dm/A] [A]
With verse: [x33211] [x30210]
[F/C] Sis[C]ters by the wayside bide their time in quiet peace,
await their place within the ring of calm.
[Dm/A] Sti[A]ll stand to turn in seconds of release,
await the call they know may never come.
[F/C] In [C]times of lightness no intruder dared upon
to jeopardize the course, upset the run.
[Dm/A] All[A] was joy and hands were raised towards the sun,
as love in halls of plenty overrun.
[xx0233] [xx0232]
[Dsus4] Ah, [D] ah, ah, ah.
Then 4 times in the same pattern:
[113331] [133211]
[Bb/F] [F]
4 times:
[Dm/A] [A]
[F/C] Sti[C]ll in their bliss unchallenged mighty feast,
unending dances shadowed on the day.
[Dm/A] Wit[A]hin the wall their dauting formless keep,
preserved their joy and kept their doubts at bay.
[F/C] Fac[C]eless legions stood in readiness to weep,
just turn a coin, bring order to the fray.
[Dm/A] And[A] everything is soon no sooner thought than deed,
but no-one seemed to question anyway.
[Dsus4] Ah, [D] ah, ah, ah.
4 times:
[Bb/F] [F]
Then the keyboard does a little roll which kinda goes like this:
|: A~ F G :| [Play it four times]
[F/C] How[C] keen the soaring hunter's eye prevails upon the land,
to seek the unsuspecting and the weak.
[Dm/A] And[A] powerless the fabled sat, too slow to lift a hand,
toward the foe that threatened them from the deep.
[F/C] Who[C] cares to dry the cheeks of those who saddened stand,
adrift upon the sea of futile speech?
[Dm/A] Wha[A]??
[Dsus4] Ah, [D] ah, ah, ah.
4 times:
[Bb/F] [F]
Then the keyboard does that little roll again:
|: A~ F G :| [Play it four times]
The keyboard does another thing but I'll list the chords here:
|: F G Em :| [Play it tbree times]
|: A~ F G :| [two times]
|: F G Em :| [Play it tbree times]
|: A~ F G :| [two times]
|: F G Em :| [Play it tbree times]

[Riff 2] with lyrics:
Where was your word, where did you go?
Where was your helping, where was your bow? Bow.
[Riff 1] x1
[Riff 2] w/ lyrics:
Dull is the armour, cold is the day.
Hard was your journey, dark was the way. Way.
[Riff 1] x1
[Riff 2] w/ lyrics:
I heard the word, I couldn't stay, oh.
I couldn't stand it another day. Another day, ay, another day,
Another day.
Keyboard bangs out an A chord, then it plays a G for four measures [final
key switch to G], then A again for four measures.
Play G:
Touched by the timely coming, roused from the keeper's sleep,
Play A:
release the grip, throw down the key.
Play D:
Held now within the knowing, rest now within the peace,
Play A:
Take of the fruit, but guard the seed.
Play D for four measures, then:
[x04442]
|: A A B/A~ :| [Play tbis four times]
Play G for four measures, then A for four measures.
Play G:
Held now within the knowing, rest now within the beat,
take of the fruit but guard the seed.
Play D for four measures, then:
Play A:
Take of the fruit but guard the seed.
Play D for four measures, then:
|: A A B/A~ :| [Play tbis tbree times]
Repeat until fadeout:
[x05553]
|: A A B/A~ C/A B/A :|
