I've never heard the song myself, but here's a friend's

        Someone is forgetting something! The low E is tuned down to a D 
for Moby Dick. 
 
        Here is the song: 
 
        This song is really easy to play, even if you don't know the 
solos. :-) Enjoy! Make sure you listen to the song or you won't know the 
changes. You NEED to tune the 6th string to D to play this. 
 
{Riff 1} 
 
e:-------------------------------| 
B:-------------------------------| 
G:o-----------------------------o| 
D:o-----------------------------o| 
A:----5--5--3--------------------| 
E:-0-----------5--3--5--3--5--3--| 
 
{Riff 2} 
 
e:-------------------------------| 
B:-------------------------------| 
G:o-----------------------------o| 
D:o--5--5--3--0-----------------o| 
A:---------------1--3--1--3--1---| 
E:-5-----------------------------| 
 
{Riff 3} 
 
e:--------------------------------------------------------------| 
B:--------------------------------------------------------------| 
G:-------------------------------------------7--5---------------| 
D:---7--7--5-----7--7---5--7--5-5-5-5-5-----------7--5----------| 
A:------------7-------7-----------------8--5-----------8--------| 
E:-7------------------------------------------------------------| 
 
Okay, now for the song, play {Riff 1} four times, then {Riff 2} two 
times, then back to {Riff 1} two times, then break into {Riff 3} once, 
then repeat the entire cycle. This sequence repeats a few times, then 
after the end of {Riff 3} play this: 
 
e:--------------| 
B:--------------| 
G:--------------| 
D:--------------| 
A:----5---------| 
E:----0---------| 
 
So when the song is ending, instead of looping back to {Riff 1} after 
{Riff 3}, you play this as the last note. There is a long pause in the 
middle where Bonham goes off, which is good for drummers but not for us. 
:-) This song took me about 10 minutes to get down right, and I've only 
been playing for 7 months, so this one should be no sweat. Of course, if 
you can do Page's mini solos in between the pauses later in the song, 
good luck.
