Hey! Here's the tab of a very simple Plant's song even though it is
very beautiful, especially if you can play guitar... 
There is just 2 riffs in this song  
there are very simple words. 
I wouldn't recommend to play it on an electric guitar
but it sounds better on the accoustic guitar.

So here it is,

First of all: ~  - means vibrato.


Intro part:



E-|--------------------|
A-|---6----------------|
D-|-----------8--------|
G-|------------------8-|
B-|--------------------|
E-|--------------------|


E-|--------------------|
A-|---6----------------|
D-|---------8----------|
G-|------------------8-|
B-|--------------------|
E-|--------------------|



E-|--------------------|
A-|---6----------------|
D-|----------8---------|
G-|--------------------|
B-|--------------------|
E-|--------------------|


E-|-----6-----8-----9---------------9---8-----6----~4-------|
A-|---------------------11----------------------------------|
D-|--------------------------11-----------------------------|
G-|---------------------------------------------------------|
B-|---------------------------------------------------------|
E-|---------------------------------------------------------|


Play intro part two times.

It was kinda intro,
then there are the same chords and similar arpegios.
There is a perfect violin solo in the middle of the song, but I'm not the
best
violin player...

So when Robert starts singing it something like this:



(Variate the arpegios as you want; just don't change the chords; )



E-|------------------------9-----------------------|
A-|--6--------------------------11-----------------|
D-|-----8------------------------------11----------|
G-|--------8---------------------------------------|
B-|------------------------------------------------|
E-|------------------------------------------------|

   If I were a carpenter, you ...




E-|----------------------9-------------------------|
A-|--6--------------------------11-----------------|
D-|------8-----------------------------------------|
G-|----------8--------------------------11---------|
B-|------------------------------------------------|
E-|------------------------------------------------|


   Would you marry me anyway, ...



And so on,
Led Zeppelin and Robert Plant forever!
