Jimmy Page White Summer

I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find an accurate tab for Jimmy Page/Led Zeppelin - White Summer? I all ready found the one on
harmony-central.com but found it rather mistaken and missing quit a bit.

here's a tip...maybe if you do a search for Zeppelin's "Black Mountain Side" you'll find something. Then you can use that and adapt as needed. Page ripped himSELF off for a change with this one..."Black Mountain Side" being essentially just a remake of his own "White Summer" which was released on the Yardbirds' "Little Games" lp. By the way "White Summer" itself is almost a note-for-note lift from a John Fahey tune, the name of which I just can't remember, but I'll bet someone here can.

Here's a really excellent PowerTab version:

If you don't have the PowerTab software you will need to download it from the site, but that is well worth your while.

This is the only transcription I have seen that has the odd but correct DADGAD tuning.

Here's Black Mountain Side:

A bit different... I think this originally appeared in a special acoustic issue of Guitar magazine from a few years ago.

John Fahey tune? I'd heard Bert Jansch, but whoever it was, I'm thinking the song Jimmy got his inspiration from was called 'Black Water Slide'...
