To whomever posted Ten Years by Zep, thanks for a great post
That was one hell of a one page post.

What post?
(Well someone overflowed our news area so maybe that's where it went)
Only one page and one hell of a post.
But that song is so long!
I'm curious so would appreciate if anyone could repost or Email me a copy.

Done in standard tuning.

The measures shown separate certain phrases (as percieved by me)

The up tempo section is just bashing G,F,C chords
=================================================
Played over
"I felt the coldness of my winter,.... I never thought - you would ever go
G F C G

I do this (These chord strokes do NOT match the words)
G G G G (E) F (E) F F (E) F F C C C C (A) G (rest then repeat)


Where chords are:
G = 355455
F = 133211
C = X3555X
(E) = 0XXXXX
(A) = X0XXXX

(hold down chord shapes) ^ ^ ^ (pregnant pause)
(let notes ring) (Ritard)

Notes:
======
! slow up stroke on chord (i.e 1st to 6th)
# strum softly for a while
() notes within brackets optional (or de-emphisized)
[] notes I use that are definitely not in recording
= let note ring from last chord rather than re-strike
% repeat last measure
X muted
0h2 hammer-on
2p0 pull-off
/ \ slides
^ suggest use of upstroke to pick
? NOT a mistake - striking the mute here sounds more interesting

Note1 This appeggio is what I do but does not match recording

Note2 An easier alternative Eb/G is...
|-------|
|---4---|
|---3---|
|---5---|
|-------|
|-------|

Suggestions:
===========
Use downstrokes for all chords shown on TAB,
except for those marked "!" (upstroke)
and the "#" (alternate up/down strumming or whatever suits).

I use downstrokes for just about all the notes except for those noted "^"
near the end, where the different accent of an upstoke is important to
colour these D notes.

I have used "=" to highlight certain places where I let a note let ring after
a chord rather than re-strike the note. (Because I think re-striking sounds
too strong in these places.)
