Well, someone requested this song the other day, so I

figured I'd sit down and learn the damn thing. (BTW,

thanks for the origional chord progression.)

As for how many times to play each part, listen to the

recording. This is taking far to long as is, and I don't

have the time to tab out every measure. Just listen for

phrases that sound familiar and string them together.

Coverdale/Page - Take a Look at Yourself

E-|--0---2---4-------------------------|

E-|-5-------2-0-----|

After the last B-|---2-------------|

A in each of the G-|-----2-----------|

above ABB sequences D-|-------2---------|

play this: A-|-----------------|

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

Then go on to one of the signature phrases of the song:

E-|------------------|-0-----------|------------------|-0-----------|
B-|--9---------2-----|---2-----2-0-|--9---------2-----|---2-----0---|
G-|--9---------2-----|-----2-------|--9---------2-----|-----2-------|

A-|--7---------0-----|-------------|--7---------0-----|-------------|

B-|------------------------------0-2-0-2---0-2-------|
G-|------6-------------------------------------------|
D-|--6-6-6----6-6-7----2-4-6---2---------------------|
A-|--6-6-4----6-6-7----2-4-6-------------------------|
E-|--4-4------4-4-5----0-2-4-------------------------|

At other places, instead of ending with the

picked notes, this phrase can also end with a

descending series of power chords: A5, F#5, E5.

Pretty much the rest of the song just mixes those phrases

in different ways, and since it would take me a year to

say specifically where everything goes, I'll let you figure

that out.

The really short chords in the middle of the song

that get muted really fast after being struck I think

have the following formations:

E B A

====== ====== ====== Right offhand I don't

xx999x xx987x xx765x remember the order, though.

As for the solo near the end, I fear that I might be terribly

butchering Page's beautiful solo, but here is a rough estimate

of it:

Solo:

E-|----------------------------------------------------------------|
B-|-------------------------------7s9----9s7--------------9p7------|
G-|----------------------6-7s9---------------------9---9------9----|
D-|-----9b11rb9--7--6---------9----------------6h9---9-------------|
A-|-7--------------------------------------------------------------|
E-|----------------------------------------------------------------|
E-|----------------7----------------------7b9rb7------------------------|
B-|---7--s9---10-----10p9---9-------9-10---------10-9----9-7b9rb7-------|
G-|-9---------------------9----------------------------------------9----|
D-|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
A-|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
E-|---------------------------------------------------------------------|

G-|-9---------------9-----------------------------------|
D-|-------------------9---------------------------------|
A-|-----------------------------------------------------|
E-|-----------------------------------------------------|

I hope that didn't suck too bad. Remember, as always, repeat

the phrases as necessary.

Good Luck! And (as always) questions, comments, corrections, and

additions are very welcome.

PS - The next song from this album I want to tab in is

'Take me for a little while'. If anyone knows any

of it, anything at all, beyond the intro, please

email me. This is harder than hell as is...

Thanx
