  Subject: TAB: Robert Plant - 'Promised Land'

  

  The way I've tabbed it is the easiest way I can

  think of to play this song.  I believe that the

  actual recording has a capo on the first fret.

  Or, since every song on the entire tape seems

  to play a little bit above standard tuning, they

  may tune a little higher--I really don't know.

  The tab is shown for playing w/o the capo, if you

  use the capo, just pretend the first fret is zero.

  Play with or without a slide, whatever floats your

  boat (I can't play slide worth a damn.)

  

  The capo should be good enough to play with the

  recording.  To just jam without the recording leave

  everything open.  BTW, I'm not even going to try

  to transcribe any of the harmonica parts over to

  guitar.  Enjoy...

  

  

  Robert Plant - 'Promised Land'                                                                               

  

      Heavy distortion throughout

  

       Riff 1

  E-|------------------------------------------|

  B-|---------------------------------(12)vvv--|

  G-|--3--2--0--3--2--0--0--3--2--0--3s12vvvv--|

  D-|--3--2--0--3--2--0--0--3--2--0--3s12vvvv--|

  A-|------------------------------------------|

  E-|------------------------------------------|

                                                                                 

        Riff 2

  E-|------------------------------------------------|

  B-|-----------------------------------------(12)---|

  G-|--3--2--0--3--2--0--0--3--0--3--0hhhhhhhhs12----|

  D-|--3--2--0--3--2--0--0--3--0--3--0hhhhhhhhs12----|

  A-|------------------------------------------------|

  E-|------------------------------------------------|

  

  Play riff 1, riff 2, riff 1, riff2 followed by a few

  strums on a G5 chord (355xxx)

  

  Then, throughout the sound in various places with other

  stuff in the background (synthesizers, harmonicas, etc.)

  the following is an approximation of the bass line:

  Slightly palm muted:

  E-|-------------------------------------------|

  B-|-------------------------------------------|

  G-|-------------------------------------------|

  D-|-------------------------------------------|

  A-|--------3-------------------3--------------|

  E-|--3--3-----3--6b---3-1---3-----3---6b--3---|

                    |                                                           

                    1/2 fret bend

  

  Also in the background is occasional short appearences

  of part of a different G5 chord (xx00xx).  Listen to the

  recording if you want to try to throw those in.  Those

  eventually lead into the following:

  

      Lead in       Riff 3                                                             

  E-|-------------|----------------------------------|

  B-|-------------|--------------------------(12)vvv-|

  G-|--0--0--3--0-|-3s5vvvv--5--0--3--2--0--3s12vvvv-|

  D-|--0--0--3--0-|-3s5vvvv--5--0--3--2--0--3s12vvvv-|

  A-|-------------|----------------------------------|

  E-|-------------|----------------------------------|

                                                                                 

       Riff 4

  E-|------------------------------|

  B-|------------------------------|

  G-|--3s5vvvv--5--0--3----3--0----|

  D-|--3s5vvvv--5--0--3----3--0----|

  A-|------------------------------|

  E-|------------------------------|

                                                                                 

  Then play riff 3 again and really hold on to that last                                                                               

  vibrato, almost trying to push it to feed back.

  Then you can go back to the bass line until right before

  the next verse starts when you can intro with:

  E-|-----------------|

  B-|-----------------|

  G-|--7--7--2b3--0---|

  D-|--7--7--2b3--0---|

  A-|-----------------|

  E-|-----------------|

                                                                                            

  Then there is nothing new until you hit the following:                                                                               

  

  E-|-----------------------------------------6b7-3-|

  B-|-----------------------------------------------|

  G-|--------------5-5-5---5-5-5--3-----------------|

  D-|--5--5-5--5---5-5-5---5-5-5--3-----------------|

  A-|--5--5-5--5---3-3-3---3-3-3--1-----------------|

  E-|--3--3-3--3---------------------3-6b7-3--------|

                                                                                 

  

  E-|------------------------------------3-----|

  B-|------------------------------------3-----|

  G-|--------5-5-5---5-5-5--3------------0-----|

  D-|-5--5---5-5-5---5-5-5--3------------0-----|

  A-|-5--5---3-3-3---3-3-3--1------------2-----|

  E-|-3--3---------------------3-6b7-3---3-----|

  

  Then you can go back into the bass line, and then experiment

  with this little lead lick that gets thrown in:

  E-|--------------------------------------------------|

  B-|--6b8vvvvvvvv--(8)rb6p3---------------------------|

  G-|------------------------3--5b7rb5p3p0---3vbbb(5)--|

  D-|--------------------------------------------------|

  A-|--------------------------------------------------|

  E-|--------------------------------------------------|

  

  After that, there is nothing that is really new (just listen

  to the recording to get the exact locations of everything).

  What I have already given you should cover everything but

  the solo.

  

  Here is my feeble attempt at this solo: (I think a little echo is

  mixed in with it)

  

  E-|------------------------------3------3--5b6--3----3------3-----------|

  By the way, the 't' in that is for tremolo picking (just pick as

  fast as you can through it).  As far as that second to last line of

  the solo goes, I'm sorry it sounds so wrong.  If anyone knows something

  that sounds better (wouldn't take much I presume) either post it or

  send it to me.  I'd appreciate it.

  

  Questions, comments, additions, and corrections are always welcome.

  Have fun with this one.
