(Version #3)
Led Zeppelin
You Shook Me by Willie Dixon and J.B. Lenoir 
   performed by Led Zeppelin on Led Zeppelin
    
    Wow, my first tab, and from the greatest band to ever play.  I figured 
    this out by myself, no books (hence the many errors) Ok, this is a 
    basic slow blues, in E, as far as I can tell.
    
    Intro:

B-|-----------------------|   Ok, 2nd verse is the same, except Robert
G-|-------14-12^----------|   is talking about a bird or something.   
D-|----14--------14^-12\0-|   Jimmy varies a little, and I've tried to 
A-|-14--------------------|   tab that out.
E-|-----------------------|

         Ok, now we have an organ solo, harmonica solo, and a guitar solo.
         Here are the basic chords played during all three.  This is not
                                                                     
         entirely accurate, but it's good enough for me.  Sorry I couldn't
         tab out the guitar solo, it's too fast for me to tab, but I can
