Robert Plant And The Strange Sensation - All The King's Horses
from the album "Mighty Rearranger"
written by Robert Plant
Right, this is the toughest song to date that I've tabbed by ear. Tough because even
I could tell it was in an open tuning, I wasn't sure what that tuning was. I started
open C when I heard the droning C chord at the very end of the intro. So I started
a bit with Powertabs, my personal favorite song-learning and -writing program, and voila!
have what I believe to be a totally accurate interpretation of the intro right here.
Don't forget to tune in open C (CGCGCe).

I love it, using Open C tuning was important to get that awesome low C note in there, but a few things I noticed, if I may:

The first part is (I double checked it by slowing it down):

OK, my comment was way too long, apparently. In it I said I didn't hear the second "2" in the parts that have: 0h2h4, 0h2. Just the four notes (maybe even only the middle 3). I don't think the F chord (x55555) has the high e string in there. And I think the fifth note in the last part is a very low C instead of that middle C (0 2, 0 2 0)
Great work though. You should tab the whole thing. If you don't I just might. ;)
