When the Levee Breaks
 by Led Zeppelin and Memphis Minnie
 from Led Zeppelin IV

      Ok, weird tuning on this one, it's (low to high) EACFAC.  Slow blues,
    cool drums, very repetetive, what more is there to say? Have fun, and try

    it with a slide.

Geeze, there's really not much to this song is there? Well, I must admit, I
got quite
a bit of help on this, and can't take all the credit for it. But anyway, if
you have any questions, comments, or corrections let me know, Matt O'Donnell,
