Your Time is Gonna Come
Jimmy Page & John Paul Jones

Led Zeppelin
Led Zeppelin I
1969

I was fooling around with this the other day,
and it turned out to be so easy that it's
going up on my page.  The organ part is great
too, so if you play organ, try it.  Also,
you have to fingerpick this, you can't do
it with a pick.

The intro is all organ, but this part comes in when the
drums enter.  It's also played under all the verses.
It just keeps repeating.  Jimmy fingerpicks it.

   D                 Cadd9             G       G6
   +   +   +   +     +   +   +   +     +   +   +   +     +   +   +   +
e:-------------2---|-------3-------0-|-------3-------0-|-----------------|
B:---------3-------|-----3-------3---|-----3-------3---|-------3-----3---|
G:-----2-----------|---0-------0-----|---0-------0-----|-----------------|
D:-0---------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----0-3---0-3---|
A:-----------------|-3-------3-------|-----------------|-0-3-------------|
E:-----------------|-----------------|-3-------3-------|-----------------|

The lead-in to the chorus looks like this:

   +   +   +   +     +   +   +   +     +   +   +   +     +   +   +   +
e:-------------5---|-------7-------5-|-------3-------3-|-------5-------3-|
B:---------7-------|-----5-------5---|-----5-------5---|-----3-------3---|
G:-----7-----------|---6-------6-----|---5-------5-----|---4-------4-----|
D:-0---------------|-0-------0-------|-0-------0-------|-0-------0-------|
A:-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
E:-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|

The chorus is just two chords plus the thing on the end:

D                     G
   Your time is gonna come
D                     G
   Your time is gonna come
D                     G
   Your time is gonna come
D                     G
   Your time is gonna come

Then Jimmy does this thing.  It sounds like he shapes
the chords and pats the strings to make that noise.
Use your thumb on 6th string for D/G and D/F#.

   D/G               D/F#              G
   +   +   +   +     +   +   +   +     +   +   +   +     +   +   +   +

That's all the guitar parts.  Here are the
lyrics to go along with them.

VERSE
Lyin' cheatin' hurtin'
That's all you seem to do
Messin' around every guy in town
Puttin' me down for thinkin' of someone new

Always the same playin' your game
Drive me insane trouble's gonna come to you
One of these days and it won't be long
You'll look for me but baby I'll be gone

LEAD-IN
This is all I gotta say to you woman

CHORUS
Your time is gonna come
Your time is gonna come
Your time is gonna come
Your time is gonna come

VERSE
Made up my mind to break you this time
Won't be so fine it's my turn to cry
Do want you want I won't take the brunt
It's fadin' away can't feel you anymore

Don't care what you say 'cause I'm goin' away to stay
Gonna make you pay for that great big hole in my heart
People talkin' all around watch out woman
No longer is the joke gonna be on my heart

LEAD-IN
You been bad to me woman but it's coming back home to you

CHORUS

Then it goes into Black Mountain Side.
