GALLOWS POLE

"Led Zeppelin III"

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

 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------------------------

NOTATION USED:
