Ahhhhh.....
Ahhhhh..... Ahhhhh..... Ahhhhh..... Ahhhhh..... Fade
out... Spent my days with a woman
unkind: Smoked my stuff and drank all my
wine. Made up my mind, make a new
start, Goin' to California with an achin' in my
heart. Someone told me there's a girl out
there With love in her eyes and flowers in her
hair. Took my chances on a big jet
plane. Never let 'em tell you that they're all the
same. Ah, the Sea was red and the Sky was
grey: I wondered how tomorrow could ever follow
today. The mountains and the canyons start to
tremble and shake: Children of the Sun begin to wake....
[spoken:] watch out Seems like the wrath of the Gods: got a
punch on the nose and it's startin' to flow, I think I might
be sinking. Throw me a line, if I reach it in
time (I'll) meet you up there where the path runs
straight and high. Find a Queen without a King, They say she plays guitar and cries and
sings: la-la-la-la. Ride a white mare on the footsteps of
Dawn, Tryin' to find a woman who's never, never,
never been born. Standing on a hill and a mountain of
dreams, Telling myself it's not as hard, hard, hard
as it seems.... Ahhhhh..... Ahhhhh.....
Ahhhhh..... Ahhhhh..... Ahhhhh..... Ahhhhh..... Fade

MacFarlane) I saw a request for this, so I thought I'd
post it. This is my first real tab, so it may not be
perfect. The song is not overly complex. There are
three main riffs corresponding to the chords. Just play the
tab for the appropriate chord. The tabs may not be perfect, but I
know the chords are correct. Rhythm: all eighth notes, played in cut
time. Intro: second half of the "D"
tab.

is written in the key of D, if anyone wants to know. Hopefully, I'll try to post a few other

(cntr-T.Ryan) Horowitz) Subject: Going To California TAB Going To California by Led
Zeppelin This song has two acoustic guitars and a
mandolin. However I only know the guitar parts so
just play with notes for the mandolin
stuff. Both guitars are tuned to DGDGBD.
