Dazed and Confused by Led Zeppelin Transcribed by John Gaughan (john@johngaughan.net) Key: Em Time: 12/8 Lyrics: (Intro) Been dazed and confused so long it's not true, Wanted little woman never bargained for you; Lots of people talkin' few of them know, Soul of a woman was created below. You hurt and abuse tellin' all of your lies, ??? sweet baby Lord how they hypnotize; Sweet little baby don't know where you been, Go to love you baby, here I come again. Every day I work so hard bringin' home my hard-earn pay, Try to love you baby but you push me away; Don't know where you goin' only know just where you been, Sweet little baby, I want you again. (Bridge) (Solo) Been dazed and confused so long it's not true, Wanted little woman never bargained for you; Take it easy baby let them say what they will, Love you so much when I sent you the bill.

That's the way John Paul Jones says he does it. He and Bonham would push the tempo up to insane levels by keeping the playing simple.
