Over the Hills and Far Away
Jimmy Page and Robert Plant
Led Zeppelin
Houses of the Holy
1973
I always thought this was mostly electric, and it is
but the acoustic still sits back ther behind it all
and so I've tabbed it. I actually learned it from a
tab by Matthew M. Holladay and Gary Chapman, which
was really good, but this is upgrade version 2.0.
Hope you enjoy it!

LYRICS:
play INTRO FIGURE
Hey lady you got the love I need
Oh maybe more than enough
Oh darlin' darlin' darlin' walk a while with me
You've got so much
Here's the heavy part. Play these chords:
G A G G D D A
Many have I loved and many times been bitten
G A G play high part from addition to verse
Many times I've gazed along the open road
Many times I've lied many times I've listened
Many times I've wondered how much there is to know
Many dreams come true and some have silver linings
I live for my dream and a pocketful of gold
G D A E
GUITAR SOLO
G D A E
G D A E
F#m (rest of solo: 24 measures)
acoustic guitar tacets, then plays high part again.
Mellow is the man that knows what he's been missing
Many many men can see the open road
Many is the word that only leaves you guessing
Guessing 'bout a thing you really ought to know
You really ought to know
