Led Zeppelin
"In through the Out Door"
(Jones/Page/Plant)
Progression:
GAAGAAGAAGAABC#
Repeat this 8 times:
xx02220
DA/A
xx30210
With verse:
F/CC
Sisters by the wayside bide their time in quiet peace,
await their place within the ring of calm.
Dm/AA
Still stand to turn in seconds of release,
await the call they know may never come.
F/CC
In times of lightness no intruder dared upon
to jeopardize the course, upset the run.
Dm/AA
All was joy and hands were raised towards the sun,
as love in halls of plenty overrun.
xxx0232
Dsus4D
Ah, ah, ah, ah.
Then 4 times in the same pattern:
1133211
BF/F
4 times:
DA/AF/CC
Still in their bliss unchallenged mighty feast,
unending dances shadowed on the day.
Dm/AA
Within the wall their dauting formless keep,
preserved their joy and kept their doubts at bay.
F/CC
Faceless legions stood in readiness to weep,
just turn a coin, bring order to the fray.
Dm/AA
And everything is soon no sooner thought than deed,
but no-one seemed to question anyway.
Dsus4D
Ah, ah, ah, ah.
4 times:
BF/F
Then the keyboard does a little roll which kinda goes like this:
Play it four times
|: A~ F G :|
F/CC
How keen the soaring hunter's eye prevails upon the land,
to seek the unsuspecting and the weak.
Dm/AA
And powerless the fabled sat, too slow to lift a hand,
toward the foe that threatened them from the deep.
F/CC
Who cares to dry the cheeks of those who saddened stand,
adrift upon the sea of futile speech?
Dm/AA
Wha??
Dsus4D
Ah, ah, ah, ah.
4 times:
BF/F
Then the keyboard does that little roll again:
Play it four times
|: A~ F G :|
The keyboard does another thing but I'll list the chords here:
Play it three times

I heard the word, I couldn't stay, oh.
I couldn't stand it another day. Another day, ay, another day,
Another day.
Keyboard bangs out an A chord, then it plays a G for four measures [final
key switch to G], then A again for four measures.
Play G:
Touched by the timely coming, roused from the keeper's sleep,
Play A:
release the grip, throw down the key.
Play D:
Held now within the knowing, rest now within the peace,
Play A:
Take of the fruit, but guard the seed.
Play D for four measures, then:
x04442
Play this four times
|: A A B/A~ :|
Play G for four measures, then A for four measures.
Play G:
Held now within the knowing, rest now within the beat,
take of the fruit but guard the seed.
Play D for four measures, then:
Play A:
Take of the fruit but guard the seed.
Play D for four measures, then:
Play this three times
