Okay, here`s the TAB for "Good Times, Bad Times" by Led Zeppelin:
E5 [: D A :]x5
e———————————————————————
B–T–9-9-r—9-9-r—9-9-r—9-9-r—9-9-r—9-9
—–7-7———–
G–A–9-9-r—9-9-r—9-9-r—9-9-r—9-9-r—9-9
—–7-7———–
D–B–9-9-r—9-9-r—9-9-r—9-9-r—9-9-r—9-9
—-7-7-7-4-7——
A—–7-7-r—7-7-r—7-7-r—7-7-r—7-7-r—7-7
–/5—–5—4–5-6
E—–0-0-r—0-0-r—0-0-r—0-0-r—0-0-r—0-0-r——————-
This is the intro, taking you up to the chorus. ("Good Times, Bad
Times…") There are actually two guitars here, but I`ve tried to simplify
things as much as possible for one. Also, watch for minor changes in the
fingering, as there are changes not only between the hammers-on and slides of
the two guitar parts, but between each time the bit is repeated. My symbols
above the TAB, "[: :]x mean to repeat everything betweeen the brackets and
colons, and do it the number of times followed by "x", in this case five times.
-Dave
Here`s the chorus, in which I`ll TAB out the two guitar parts
separately, as there is quite a difference:
Guitar II:

("r" stands

for "rest")
E—–7-7—–7/12—12-12—12-12-12—5/7-7—-7-7-7-7-7—
Guitar I:

D–B–7/9-9-9-9———-

E—–5/7-7-7-7———-
At this point "Sixteen I fell in love…" both guitars play the same
part, which is:
[:F#5 E5F#5 E5F#5 F#5 E5 F#5 E5F#5:]x3
e——————————————————
B–T—————————————————
G–A———-11^9-11–4^2-4-x———11^9-11-4^2-4^2-
D–B———-11-9-11–4-2-4-x———11-9-11-4-2-4-2-
A—–4-4————————4———————
E—–2-2———————-2-2———————
Watch for changes in which notes are struck and where rests are taken
each time you repeat.
Now the chorus comes again, but this time it`s in B, use chord changes
between B (x2444x), Esus4 (00222x), and E (02210x). At "when my woman left
home…" go to a C# (x4666x) on "woman", to a B (799877) to an F#
(x9.11.11.11x). Hopefully, you get the picture. I could TAB it out, but it`s
not that complex, and I`m feeling lazy.

The letters following the numbers refer to bends, b for a whole step, h
for a half step, q for a quarter bend. In some cases there are combinations,
"bb" means two full steps, while "bh" would mean to bend the note one and a
half steps. You probably can also tell that guitar II has it`s own variation
through much of the solo, which I haven`t included. I hope this can do some
good, as I am sure there are mistakes in my transcription, and it may be
difficult to interpret overall. Oh well. E-mail me if you find glaring
errors, or simply correct and repost.
