ong Remains the Same
Led Zeppelin


This song has 3 12-string electrics and 2 6-strings(telecaster thru supro)
Ill try to keep them all straight for you.

The intro is 1 12string banging out an open D repeatedly.  One 12-string
plays this set of chords over it:

e--2-----5-----7-----9\----14------14\-----------------------------------
b--3-----6-----8----10\----15------15\-----------------------------------
g--2-----5-----7-----9\----14------14\-----------------------------------
d------------------------------------------------------------------------
a------------------------------------------------------------------------
E------------------------------------------------------------------------

and the third 12 plays these chords:

e--------------12----12---------14-----14\-------------------------------
b--7-----8-----12----14---------15-----15\-------------------------------
g--7-----7-----12----14---------14-----14\-------------------------------
d--7----10---------------------------------------------------------------
a------------------------------------------------------------------------
E------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now one 12 stops playing and one 12 plays these chords
while the second 12 plays the same chords but with an open D-string
instead of a second fret D.
e--0----0-0--2------2-2--0---0-0--2--2-2--3--3-3-0--0-0--3--3-3--2------
b--3----3-3--3------3-3--3---3-3--3--3-3--3--3-3-3--3-3--3--3-3--3------
g--2----2-2--2------2-2--2---2-2--2--2-2--2--2-2-2--2-2--2--2-2--2------
d--2----2-2--2------2-2--2---2-2--2--2-2--2--2-2-2--2-2--2--2-2--2------
a-----------------------------------------------------------------------
E-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Now this chord sequence is played by 2 12's the same way
and repeat it.                  /-again the 2nd 12 plays the open D on this chd
e-2--2-2-----2--2--3--3-3----2--0---------------------------------------
b-3--3-3-----3--3--3--3-3----3--3---------------------------------------
g-2--2-2-----2--2--2--2-2----2--2---------------------------------------
d-0--0-0-----0--0--0--0-0----0--0---------------------------------------
a------------------------------------------------------------------------
E-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Next is both 12's playing this:

e---0----0---0-0----0---0---0-------0--------0----0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0----
b---1-1----1---0-0--0-----0----1--3---3-1-3-------0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0----
g------------------------------------------------------------------------
d-3-----------------3----------3-----------------------------------------
a------------------------------------------------------------------------
E------------------------------------------------------------------------

Next one of the 6 strings come in with the 2 12's to play this:

e--0----0-0--2------2-2--0---0-0--2--2-2--3--3-3-0--0-0--3--3-3--2------
b--3----3-3--3------3-3--3---3-3--3--3-3--3--3-3-3--3-3--3--3-3--3------
g--2----2-2--2------2-2--2---2-2--2--2-2--2--2-2-2--2-2--2--2-2--2------
d--2----2-2--2------2-2--2---2-2--2--2-2--2--2-2-2--2-2--2--2-2--2------
a-----------------------------------------------------------------------
E-----------------------------------------------------------------------

One this next distorted part, 
the six string plays this:           and 12's play this
e-------------------------------------------------2-----------------------
b-------------------------------------------------3-----------------------
g-------------------------------------------------2-----------------------
d-------------------------------------------------2-----------------------
a---------------0------------------------------0--------------------------
E---3^4--0-3^4--0-----------------3^4--0--3^4-----------------------------

Here is the 2 12's backing part to the first solo:

e---2------2---3--3-------5--3-------------------------------------------
b-----3------3------3-----3--5-------------------------------------------
g-------2-------------2--------------------------------------------------
d-0----------------------------------------------------------------------
a------------------------------------------------------------------------
E------------------------------------------------------------------------

And the first 6 string solo:

e------------------------------------------------------------------------
b------------------------------------------------------------------------
g-----------------------------------------------------7-9-7---7----------
d------------------------7-9-7---9-7---7--7-7-----7-9-------9------------
a-3^4--0--3^4--5-7p5-7/9-------9-----9-----------------------------------
E------------------------------------------------------------------------

e-------------7----------------------------------------10----------------
b---------------10-7-----------------------------------------------------
g----7--9^11---------9-7---9-7---7-9-7---7-7----7-9^11----(11)^9--7------
d--9---------------------9-----9-------9-----9---------------------------
a------------------------------------------------------------------------
E------------------------------------------------------------------------

e------------------------------------7------------------------------------
b--7^8-7-------------------------------10-7-------------------------------
g--------7------7-9-7---7----7-9^11---------9-7---9-7---7-----------------
d-----------7-9-------9----9--------------------9-----9-------------------
a-------------------------------------------------------------------------
E-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now the 6 string plays this figure a few times:

e------------------------------0------------------------------------------
b------------------------------0------------------------------------------
g--/5-4-2---2----/5-4--2-----2--------------------------------------------
d---------3--------------3-3----------------------------------------------
a-------------------------------------------------------------------------
E-------------------------------------------------------------------------

And ends it with this:
e------------------------------------------------------------------------
b------------------------------------------------------------------------
g--/5-4-2-0-------------------------------------------------------------------
d------------3-2-0----------------------------------------------------------
a------------------3-2-0----------------------------------------------------
E------------------------------------------------------------------------

The 2 12's play this after the solo: and end that section with a bunch of
                                             /-these 
e--3-5---8--8--8------3--5---8--8--8--7-7---8---------------------------
b--5-7--10-10-10------5--7--10-10-10--9-9--10---------------------------
g-----------------------------------------------------------------------
d----------------------------0------------------------------------------
a-----------------------------------------------------------------------
E-----------------------------------------------------------------------

During the vocals, the 2 12's play on this basic pattern with a few
subtle changes on the first couple of measures.

e--0---0---------------3-----0------0-----------------------------------
b--1---1-----3-----3h5----3--3--3-3---3p1-----0-------------------------
g--0---0-----0-----------------------------0----------------------------
d--2---2----------------------------------------------------------------
a--3---3----------------------------------------------------------------
E-----------------------------------------------------------------------

While the 6
