saw a Zeppelin tribute band friday night called "Zoso", were pretty accurate in sound and appearance. Even did a short acoustic set w/ "John Paul" playing mandolin and "Page" playing a nice Martin performing "thats the way" and "going to california". I asked the Jimmy imitator after the show what his guitar was tuned to when he played "Thats the way" since its one of my favorite acoustic songs ever. He said Open C, all the tabs i find on the internet show Open G, which im going to try when I get home from work. Anyway, does anyone know where i might find a tab for this song that they feel is accurate? muchos gracias

Thinkin' bout the times we had
Some were good and some were bad
guitar fightin' the tv
i was thinkin bout you and me

Yep, as I recall "That's the Way" (and "Friends") is open C. Zeppelin (along with Leo Kottke, Robbie Basho, Will Ackerman, and Alex DeGrassi) are the artists that got me interested in open tunings. Like you, I couldn't find a tab in open C either...but at least this book says it's open C...
