Nobody's Fault But Mine - Led Zeppelin

        From the CD set 'Remasters'
                Written by Page/Plant
                Atlantic Records  82371-2

        This tab is not 100% correct, but it is close enough. The
original transcription is from Charles Eric Horowitz
(ceh1@acpub.duke.edu). I have added the double-tracked intro, some rhythm
parts, and the solo. The key is A.
