Robert Plant - 'Calling to You'



Intro rhythm 1
E-|----------5--7------0------------------------------------------|
B-|-----------------3---------3--------------5--9---9s10s9--7--9--|
G-|------4-----------------------4--------4-----9---9s10s9--7--9--| Repeat
D-|---2-----------------------------2--2--------9---9s10s9--7--9--|
A-|---------------------------------------------------------------|
E-|---------------------------------------------------------------|

Played with Intro rhythm 1 second time (minus last two chords)
E-|--0-------------------------------------------------------------|
B-|----(0)---------------------------------------------------------|
G-|-----4b5rb4b5rb4b5rb4---2---------------------------------------|
D-|---------------------------2vvvvvvvvvvvvvvv---------------------|
A-|----------------------------------------------------------------|
E-|-----------------------------------------------0hhhhhhhhh-------|

Intro rhythm 2
E-|---------------------------------------------------|
B-|--9--9--9s10s9--7--9----9-9--9--9--9s10s9--7--9----|
G-|--9--9--9s10s9--7--9----9-9--9--9--9s10s9--7--9----|
D-|--9--9--9s10s9--7--9----9-9--9--9--9s10s9--7--9----|
A-|---------------------------------------------------|
E-|---------------------------------------------------|

Played with Intro rhythm 2 (first and only time)
E-|--0--------------------------------------|
B-|----(0)----------------------------------|
G-|-----4b5rb4b5rb4b5rb4----4b5rb4--2--4----|
D-|-----------------------------------------|
A-|-----------------------------------------|
E-|-----------------------------------------|

Then crash down into the riff that you here over and over again...

E-|------------------------------|
B-|------------------------------| Repeat this as needed
G-|--1----1----1s2s1----0---1----| throughout the song, usually
D-|--2----2----2s2s2----0---2----| adding two quick E's as a pickup
A-|--2----2----2s3s2----0---2----| note when this phrase is repeated.
E-|------------------------------|

If you have more than one person playing, there is also
a guitar playing repeated eighth notes on the low E string
during this part, as well as some subtle strumming on bar
chords (E,F,D) hidden under this part.

That riff often leads into this part, also the chorus (here I have
arranged a part played by several guitars into a single approximation)

E-|-------------------|
B-|------2---------2--|
G-|--2-2-2---2--2--2--| Repeated several times
D-|--2-2-2---2--2--2--| (4 times in the first case)
A-|--0-0-0---0--0--0--|
E-|-------------------|

The guitar previously playing the low E switches to an A
in that part as well.


Verse - repeat as needed

Played very chunky, with a clean accoustic strumming
E chords softly below it
E-|--------------------------|
B-|---------------------8vv--|
G-|--------------2------7vv--|
D-|--------------2------5vv--|
A-|--------------0-----------|
E-|--0----0--3b4-----0-------|

Played over the above at end of verse
E-|-----------------------------------------------------|
B-|-----------------------------------------------------|
G-|--7--7--7-9-7-6-7----7--6-7-9----7-6b7rb6b7rb6ss4-2--|
D-|-----------------------------------------------------|
A-|-----------------------------------------------------|
E-|-----------------------------------------------------|

(As I said before: sorry, no violin parts)

That should be all of the guitar parts, just piece them together.
The best way to do it: Listen to the recording.
