----------------------------------------------------------- LED ZEPPELIN - BLACK MOUNTAIN SIDE (Page) From LED ZEPPELIN album. Released on January 12th 1969. ----------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by:PJVillanueva This instrumental by Page is based on a traditional English folk song which was recorded by Bert Jansch in his 1966 JACK ORION album with the title of Blackwater Side. For me, this is a magic theme. It is full of time signature changes and Jimmy used a dropped DADGAD tuning all of which make it sound as a wonderful broken record.

The note in brackets is actually played, although it sounds very brief or even muted most of the time and I thought it'd be a good idea leaving that note out of the tab because it's much easier to master this way and it sounds fine all the same. (Add it anytime you want). Remember to tune your guitar: DADGAD Low E (6th string) down to D (Check with 4th) Low A (5th string) remains the same D (4th string) remains the same G (3rd string) remains the same B (2nd string) down to A (Check with 5th) High E (1st string) down to D (Check with 4th or 6th) (. 4/4 + + + D|0------ ------- 12----- 7------|12----- ------- ------- -------|
