Led Zeppelin - Carouselambra

Written by Jones/Page/Plant
Swan Song  16002 and/or Atlantic  92443-2

This file is mostly chords. The song is in C, the part I tabbed
out is in D, and the end is in G. Most of it is synth and/or keyboard, so
I have that here too. You can figure out which is keys and which is
guitar. Enjoy.

With verse:  [x33211]  [x30210]

F/CF/C Piano Chord 
      CC Piano Chord 

Sisters by the wayside bide their time in quiet peace,
await their place within the ring of calm.

Dm/ADm/A Piano Chord 
     AA Piano Chord 

Still stand to turn in seconds of release,
await the call they know may never come.

F/CF/C Piano Chord 
       CC Piano Chord 

In times of lightness no intruder dared upon
to jeopardize the course, upset the run.

Dm/ADm/A Piano Chord 
      AA Piano Chord 

All was joy and hands were raised towards the sun,
as love in halls of plenty overrun.

[xx0233] [xx0232]
Dsus4      DD Piano Chord 

Ah,  ah,  ah,  ah.

Then 4 times in the same pattern:

[113331]   [133211]

        FF Piano Chord 


4 times:
Dm/ADm/A Piano Chord 
     AA Piano Chord 


F/CF/C Piano Chord 
      CC Piano Chord 

Still in their bliss unchallenged mighty feast,
unending dances shadowed on the day.

Dm/ADm/A Piano Chord 
     AA Piano Chord 

Within the wall their dauting formless keep,
preserved their joy and kept their doubts at bay.

F/CF/C Piano Chord 
      CC Piano Chord 

Faceless legions stood in readiness to weep,
just turn a coin, bring order to the fray.

Dm/ADm/A Piano Chord 
     AA Piano Chord 

And everything is soon no sooner thought than deed,
but no-one seemed to question anyway.

Dsus4      DD Piano Chord 

Ah,  ah,  ah, ah.

4 times:

Bb/FBb/F Piano Chord 
     FF Piano Chord 


Then the keyboard does a little roll which kinda goes like this:

|:  A~      F G  :|  [Play it four times]

F/CF/C Piano Chord 
      CC Piano Chord 

How keen the soaring hunter's eye prevails upon the land,
to seek the unsuspecting and the weak.

Dm/ADm/A Piano Chord 
     AA Piano Chord 

And powerless the fabled sat, too slow to lift a hand,
toward the foe that threatened them from the deep.

F/CF/C Piano Chord 
      CC Piano Chord 

Who cares to dry the cheeks of those who saddened stand,
adrift upon the sea of futile speech?

Dm/ADm/A Piano Chord 
     AA Piano Chord 

Wha??

Dsus4      DD Piano Chord 

Ah,  ah,  ah, ah.

4 times:

Bb/FBb/F Piano Chord 
     FF Piano Chord 


Then the keyboard does that little roll again:

[Riff 2] x2

[Riff 2] with lyrics:

Where was your word, where did you go?
Where was your helping, where was your bow? Bow.

[Riff 1] x1

[Riff 2] w/ lyrics:

Dull is the armour, cold is the day.
Hard was your journey, dark was the way. Way.

[Riff 1] x1

[Riff 2] w/ lyrics:

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]
|:   A A   B/A~   :|   [Play this four times]

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:

|:   A A   B/A~   :|   [Play this three times]

Repeat until fadeout:
