Led Zeppelin - Carouselambra
From the CD 'In Through the Out Door'
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.

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]

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

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:
[x05553]
|: A A B/A~ C/A B/A :|
