 Here's the tab to Zep's Heartbreaker.  I think the main riff is right, but
 I'm not too sure about a few chords, and some of the lyrics, so
 corrections are welcome.

     Hey fellas have you heard the news      you know the ?'s back in town
 
     A woman came 'long just to watch an' see all the fellas lay their
 							   money down
 
     The ?style? is new but the pay's the same as it was so long ago
 
     But from her eyes a different smile [can't understand this at all]
 
 Now, play this 3x:
 
 e:|-7-5-|	After this, go to the 1st intro riff, and play it
 B:|-7-5-|	twice.  Then, play the 2nd riff once, and the 1st
 G:|-7-5-|	riff once.
 D:|-7-7-|
 A:|-5-7-|
 E:|---5-|
 
 After this, the it goes back to the verse riff, with these lyrics:
 
 Well it's been ten years and maybe more since I first set eyes on you
 The best years of my life gone by, here I am alone and blue
 Some peaple cry and some people die by the wicked ways of love
 But I just keep on rollin' 'long with a praise from the Lord above
 
 Play the 'chrod' riff (above) 3x, and then this:

 E:|-12-------------12bb-12-12-12-12-------------12-|
 Play 1x
 
 The lyrics for this part are:
 
 People talkin' all around
 'bout the way you left me flat
 i don't care what the people say
 i know where their job is at
 one thing i do have on my mind
 if you could cloarify please do
 is the way you called me another guy's name
 when i tried to make love . . . to you
 
 just after 'to you', this riff comes in:
 
 e:|------------------------------------------|
 B:|-3---3-3---3-3---3-5--3---3-3---3-3---3-5-|
 G:|---4-----4-----4--------4-----4-----4-----|
 D:|------------------------------------------|
 A:|------------------------------------------|
 E:|------------------------------------------|
 
 After this, comes the solo, which I'm not even going to attempt.
 After the solo, you come back to the 'verse' riff, with these lyrics:
 
 [can't understand first line]
 abuse my love a thousand times, however hard i try
 heartbreaker your time has come can't take your evil ways
 go away heartbreaker
 
 now, play the 'chord' riff 6 times, and start playing the 1st intro riff.
 Play through it once, and start it again, but leave out the last 9 notes.
 
 If anybody has the solo, please post it.  I'm also looking for TAB/chords
 to hendrix's Purple Haze.

 Subject: TAB: Page's solo on Heartbreaker (Led Zeppelin)
 
 Since it seems everybody gives up after the first little lick ;)
 and I believe I've figured out what Pagey does right after that..
 
 I don't know the whole solo note for note, as there's alot of noisy
 'riffery'.  But I can do that as well.. It was the technical problem
 of how to bend 'that' note. (see tab for 'that note')
 
 Incidentally, I've seen a few other posts of the very beggining, asnd
 the way I do it may not be correct, but it's not the problem area
 anyways :)
 
 E:-------------------
 B:-------------------
 G:--2--5^2^0---------
 D:------------2^0---- a couple times
 A:-----------------3-
 E:-------------------
 
 E:--------
 B:--------
 G:--5^2^0-
 D:-------- a bunch of times then, the problem area.. :)
 A:--------
 E:--------
    
 E:-----------
 B:-----------
 G:--5b9^2^0--
 D:-----------
 A:-----------
 E:-----------
      ^--that bend right there.. my pinky IS NOT strong enough to bend
  from 5 to 9  I doubt there are many in the world who's pinkies could 
 do that nicely..  Eighther way, I don't believe Pagey had the miracle 
 pinky.. :)
 I figure he was pressing the string down to left of the nut (between
 the nut and the tuning peg.  He does this in other places as well
 (namely some cuts of live Dazed and Confused I've seen..)
 So, while you hammer down the 5^2^0 lick with your left hand only,
 take your right hand, and reach past your nut, and press down the g
 string every time your right hand plays the 5 (release for the 2^0)
 
 I've tried doing this on my Gibson, but there's not quite enough space
 between the string (after the nut) and the wood of the head of the
 guitar, so I can't quite get the bend high enough without bending the
 string as well as pushing it down behind the nut.
 This is easy to do on my Strat though.  Kinda makes me wonder if Jimmy
 switched back to a tele just for the solo of this song. (as the solo
 itself was just an afterthought, and recorded after the song was
 finished..)
 (hmm then again it was supposedly one of the first things he recorded
 using a Marshall) (one would think he'd be using the Les Paul through
 the Marshall.. *shrug*)
 
 does anybody out there even care? heh :)
 
 well I hope some1 finds some use for this tab..
