Led Zeppelin’s “Tangerine” was released on their 1970 album Led Zeppelin III. Jimmy Page wrote the songs years earlier and The Yardbirds even attempted to record it. The band veers away from their usual sound in this song by using pedal steel guitars, giving it a vague country-folk sound.
The song...
[Intro]
One, two
One, two, three, four
One, two
[Verse 1]
Measuring a summer's day
I only find it slips away to grey
The hours, they bring me pain
[Chorus]
Tangerine, tangerine
Living reflection from a dream
I was her love, she was my queen
And now a thousand years in between
[Verse 2]
Thinking how it used to be
Does she still remember times like these?
To think of us again
And I do
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Tangerine, tangerine
Living reflection from a dream
I was her love, she was my queen
And now a thousand years in between
Tangerine was written by Jimmy Page.
Tangerine was produced by Jimmy Page.
Led Zeppelin released Tangerine on Mon Oct 05 1970.
