End of Intro

The end part is not what it should be but it sounds kl
and is more importantly playable!

Fast acoustic bit leading into electric guitar joining:

After this it is not possible to play on bass,
so this is the end of the road, lol!

I, for one, know all of Zeppelin's music, from "Stairway" to "Ten Years Gone" to "Carouselambra" to "How Many More Times" and all the rest. I can really call myself a die-hard fan.

i am the only person my age(16) that i know that has ever heard the song and i think it is great! i am not really sure what its supposed to be about but i have an idea that is similar to canofcoke01's about the 2 paths (heaven or hell) and the "piper" being Jesus, and the part "When all are one and one is all" that would be like the interworking of man and God. i dunno if this is a good theory but if u think its completely bogus thats fine wit me! overall i think it is a VERY good song...
