"Gallows Pole" Bass-Tab By Led Zeppelin
Off Led Zeppelin III
Transcribed By Ryan Klein


Well folks as far as I can tell, there are only 4 parts to this
song:


 S S S S S S S S
S S S S

-------------------------------------
-------------------------------------
-------------------------------------
--3--5--3--5-5--5--5--5--3--5--3--5--

S S S S S S S S
S S S S



-----------------------------------
-----------------------------------
-----------------------------------
-5--5--5--5--3--5--3--5--5--5--5--5

This repeats a few times with an occasional G-D or C-D transition

Then when the "Hangman" chorus comes in:


Q E S S E S S Q
Q E S

----------4----------------------
-7--5--7-----------4--5---7------
-------------5--7------------5--7
---------------------------------


 S Q+ S S S Q
E S S

------------4-----------------4--
--4--5---5------5--7----5--7-----
---------------------------------
---------------------------------

E S S Q E S S
E S S



---------------------------------
-------4--5--5---4--2------------
-5--7-------------------5---3--2-
---------------------------------

Then back to the G-A-G-A-G-G-G-G stuff again

The final part is thrown in at various parts in the song, and pretty
much dominates the ending:

 E S S S S S
S S S S

----------------------------------
---5--4--2------------------------
-------------5--3--2--------------
-----------------------5--3--5--3-


I hope this helps. It may not be right, but I think its close
to the actual thing.
