Led Zeppelin:  Going To California
(Box Set Disc II Version)

Tuning:  Double Drop-D Tuning
Tabbed by: Bobby Boy

There seems to be only one tab available, which to put it bluntly,
does not justice to Jimmy page or John Paul Jones.
Here's a better one. It is difficult and frustrating but it IS right.
It's a mixture of two guitars and a mandolin.
