No Quarter by Led Zeppelin

Here are the two chords played before the chorus:
both are strummed out sort of slowly
e--------------------------------------------------------------------
b--4----------------9------------------------------------------------
g--6---------------11------------------------------------------------
d--7---------------12------------------------------------------------
a--7---------------12------------------------------------------------
E--------------------------------------------------------------------

And the chorus part has some heavy fuzz on the guitar:
(The last bend is for the end of the chorus)
e--------------------------------------------------------------------
b--------------------------------------------------------------------
g--------------------------------------------------------------------
d-----6-6-6------6-6-6------6------------------------2---------------
a-2/4-4-4-4--2/4-4-4-4--2/4-4-4-----4-4-4-2------2-----4----2^4------
E-------------------------------0/2-2-2-2-0--0-4---4-----------------

The solo has two guitars on it, one clean, and one with fuzz.
Just listen to the song to try to match up parts.

	Whoever posted No Quarter the other day, thanks. I went home
and tried it (listened to the tape at the same time) and found that
it sounded better one half step higher, though. Maybe my guitar is
tuned off by a fret..

e-------------------------------------------------------------- 
B--------------------------------------------------------------
G--------------------------------------------------------------
D-----7-7-7------7-7-7------7------------------------3-0-------
A-3/5-5-5-5--3/5-5-5-5--3/5-5------5-5-5-3-------3-0-----------
E------------------------------1/3-3-3-3-1---3-5---------------

	If nothing else, that last part is easer to play, and it
sounds right. BTW, I just got a new guitar (Les Paul), but the 
strings seem to be sticking in the nut when I bend. Any ideas/
solutions? Thanks!

-Mike
