In My Time Of Dying

Year: 1975 - Album: Physical Graffiti

Written by John Bonham/John Paul Jones/Jimmy Page/Robert Plant

	  		 
        A few things to note: This song is played with a slide 
in standard tuning (as far as I can tell). I may have some of the 
nuances a little off (like where to begin a particular slide etc.), 
but hopefully this will give you an idea of how to play it. 
 
Opening riff: (set tone to "crunchy" :-)) 
 
e |---------------------------------|-----------------------| 
B |---------------------------------|-----------------------| 
G |-32^0-2/3/5~--0-32^0-(0)/12~---|-32^0-2/3/5~-0-31^0--| 
D |-32^0-2/3/5~--0-32^0-(0)/12~---|-32^0-2/3/5~-0-31^0--| 
A |---------------------------------|-----------------^-----| 
E |---------------------------------|-----------------|-----| 
                                    |                 | 
                                   wait          slow slide 
                                    |                 | 
e |---------------------------------|-----------------|-----| 
B |-----------------------------12~-|-----------------v-----| 
G |-32^0-2/3/5~--0-32^0-(0)/12--~-|-32^0-2/3/5--0-31----| 
D |-32^0-2/3/5~--0-32^0-(0)/12--~-|-32^0-2/3/5--0-31----| 
A |---------------------------------|-----------------------| 
E |---------------------------------|-----------------------| 
 
 
Another part: 
 
e |-----------------------------|---------------------------| 
B |-----------------------------|---------------------------| 
G |-0-3-5---0-(5)/7-0-(3)/53-0-|-0-3-5---0-(5)/7-0-(3)/5-3-| 
D |-0-3-5---0-(5)/7-0-(3)/53-0-|-0-3-5---0-(5)/7-0-(3)/5-3-| 
A |-----------------------------|---------------------------| 
E |-----------------------------|---------------------------| 
 
Repeat that once. 
 
Yet another part: (a little faster than previous progressions) 
 
e |------------------------|--------------------------------| 
B |------------------------|--------------------------------| 
G |-(3)/7~-0-(3)/5^0-3-0-:-|-/12~-0-(3)/5^0-3^0-:--5-(hold)-| 
D |-(3)/7~-0-(3)/5^0-3-0-:-|-/12~-0-(3)/5^0-3^0-:--5-(hold)-| 
A |----------------------^-|--------------------^-----------| 
E |----------------------|-|--------------------|-----------| 
                       repeat                 repeat 
 
Now, right after that last 5-5 power chord, there's a little 
piece that I can't figure out. It leads to this fast part, tight 
with the drums: 
 
e |---------------------------------------------------------| 
B |---------------------------------------------------------| 
G |-(2)/32^0-(2)/32-0-(2)/53-0-(right here I usually play some) 
D |-(2)/32^0-(2)/32-0-(2)/53-0-(fast 0-0 "fills"; 3 or 4, drums) 
A |---------------------------------------------------------| 
E |---------------------------------------------------------| 
 
Repeat several times. 
 
I'm not sure what the standard nomenclature is, but here is what 
I meant: 
 
        (X)/Y : Start slide at X fret, slide up to Y fret. 
        X^Y   : Pull slide off strings. 
        X~    : Hold and "wiggle" slide for a tremolo effect.
