(when I play this tune, I put an Asus4-A-Asus4-A quick change at the verse ends that isn't necessary...Trey doesn't play it, but if you're playing alone on a guitar - as I usually do - it substitutes in for Page's piano fills.) (Oh, and I didn't transcribe the solo because, well... I don't have the patience, and I can barely solo anyway.
