Led Zeppelin - Carouselambra

Progression:

G A A G A A G A A G A A B C#

Repeat this 8 times:

[x00231] [x02220]

Dm/A A

With verse: [x33211] [x30210]

F/C C

Sisters by the wayside bide their time in quiet peace,

await their place within the ring of calm.

Dm/A A

Still stand to turn in seconds of release,

await the call they know may never come.

F/C C

In times of lightness no intruder dared upon

to jeopardize the course, upset the run.

Dm/A A

All was joy and hands were raised towards the sun,

as love in halls of plenty overrun.

[xx0233] [xx0232]

Dsus4 D

Ah, ah, ah, ah.

Then 4 times in the same pattern:

[113331] [133211]

Bb/F F

4 times:

Dm/A A

F/C C

Still in their bliss unchallenged mighty feast,

unending dances shadowed on the day.

Dm/A A

Within the wall their dauting formless keep,

preserved their joy and kept their doubts at bay.

F/C C

Faceless legions stood in readiness to weep,

just turn a coin, bring order to the fray.

Dm/A A

And everything is soon no sooner thought than deed,

but no-one seemed to question anyway.

Dsus4 D

Ah, ah, ah, ah.

4 times:

Bb/F F

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

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

F/C C

How keen the soaring hunter's eye prevails upon the land,

to seek the unsuspecting and the weak.

Dm/A A

And powerless the fabled sat, too slow to lift a hand,

toward the foe that threatened them from the deep.

F/C C

Who cares to dry the cheeks of those who saddened stand,

adrift upon the sea of futile speech?

Dm/A A

Wha??

Dsus4 D

Ah, ah, ah, ah.

4 times:

Bb/F F

Then the keyboard does that little roll again:

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

The keyboard does another thing but I'll list the chords here:

|: F G Em :| [Play it three times]

|: A~ F G :| [two times]

|: F G Em :| [Play it three times]

|: A~ F G :| [two times]

|: F G Em :| [Play it three times]

Dull is the armour, cold is the day.

[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,
