  Subject: TAB: The Ocean: Led Zeppelin
  
  Here is most all the tab for Zep's the Ocean, not including guitar two.
  The opening riff goes like this:
  
  Guitar 1: Six string electric: opening riff: 
  e--------------------------------------------------------------------
  B--------------------------------------------------------------------
  G--------------------------------------------------------------------
  D--7--7------------------------5--7--7--7-----------------------5--7-
  A--------7--5------5--7--5--7-------------7--5-------5--7--5--7------
  E-------------8--8------------------------------8--8-----------------
  
  Here's the part throught most all of the lyrics, just four chords:
  
  Singing in the sunshine, laughing in the rain
  e---------------------------------------------
  B---------------------------------------------
  G--7--7--7--7--5--5--5--5-----------7--7--7--7
  D--7--7--7--7--5--5--5--5--7--5--7--7--7--7--7
  A--5--5--5--5--3--3--3--3--7--5--7--5--5--5--5
  E--5--5--5--5--3--3--3--3--5--3--5--5--5--5--5
  
  Just repeat those two main riffs, and that's 95% of the song, there is 
  also guitar 2, which I don't know, I'm still trying to figure it out.

  Singing in the sunshine, laughing in the rain
  hitting on the moonshine, rocking in the grain
  Ain't no time to pack my bag, my foots outside the door
  Got a date, can't be late for the hopes hailla ball.
  
  Singing to an ocean, I can hear the oceans roar
  Play for free, play for me and play for a whole lot more
  Singing of the good things and the sun that lights the day
  Singing to the Ocean, has the ocean lost its way?
  
  Sitting round singing songs till the night turns into day
  Used to sing on the mountains, but the mountains washed away
  Now I'm singing all my songs to the girl who won my heart
  She is only three years old its a real fine way to start.
