Off Led Zeppelin III
		Gallows Pole

!		Bass-Tab

!		Well folks as far as I can tell,
!		there are only 4 parts to this song:
!		  S  S  S  S S  S  S  S  S  S  S  S
		[-------------------------------------
		-------------------------------------
		-------------------------------------
		--3--5--3--5-5--5--5--5--3--5--3--5--]
!		 S  S  S  S  S  S  S  S  S  S  S  S
		[-----------------------------------
		-----------------------------------
		-----------------------------------
		-5--5--5--5--3--5--3--5--5--5--5--5]
!		This repeats a few times with an
!		occasional G-D or C-D transition
!		Then when the "Hangman" chorus
!		comes in:
!		 Q  E  S  S  E  S  S  Q   Q  E  S
		[----------4----------------------
		-7--5--7-----------4--5---7------
		-------------5--7------------5--7
		---------------------------------]
!		  S  Q+  S  S   S  Q    E  S  S
		[------------4-----------------4--
		--4--5---5------5--7----5--7-----
		---------------------------------
		---------------------------------]
!		 E  S  S  Q  E   S  S   E   S  S
		[---------------------------------
		-------4--5--5---4--2------------
		-5--7-------------------5---3--2-
		---------------------------------]
!		Then back to the G-A-G-A-G-G-G-G
!		stuff again
!		The final part is thrown in at
!		various parts in the song, and
!		pretty much dominates the ending:
!		   E  S  S   S  S  S   S  S  S  S
		[----------------------------------
		---5--4--2------------------------
		-------------5--3--2--------------
		-----------------------5--3--5--3-]
!		I hope this helps. It may not be
!		right, but I think its close to
!		the actual thing.

!		S= Sixteenth Note
!		E = Eighth Note
!		Q = Quarter Note
!		Q+ = Extended Quarter Note
