Tangerine
Jimmy Page
Led Zeppelin
Led Zeppelin III
1970
This is one of my favorites off Zep III. Not that there are too
many tremendous songs, but this one is decent. Cool chorus. It's
kinda simple, if you get the rhythm right. Notice that I haven't
notated all the chord names in the tab (e.g. sometimes Dsus4 -> D
is left out). Have fun!

Measuring a summer's day
I only finds it slips away to grey
The hours they bring me pain

And now a thousand years between
Thinking how it used to be
Does she still remember times like these
To think of us again
And I do
