I wish I had back all the hours I wasted trying to figure out "The Rain Song" in standard tuning as a kid, until someone told me it was D-G-D-G-C-D.

Very cool sounding...

"When the Levee Breaks" is either FCFFCF or CFCCFC with a bottle-neck slide (pardons as my Telecaster is not currently next to me).

Once one has figured out that Page was to "God Of Alternate Tunings" Zep's songs aren't too hard to figure out.

Ok excuse my ignorance here, (I'm a drummer so that makes my question legit) but is that a drop D tunning?

[Burr5]

Pardek, it isn't. It's EADADE.

Tune to that and strum all six, fingering the 7th fret of the B and D strings.

See? I've been doing Rain Song for twenty years. It's one of the most fun things I play, actually.

LOL!! Bron-y-aur was a great acoustic Page song on Physical Grafitti. That song was open D tuning, as well. It took me about 10 years to get it right...

The Rain Song is my alllllllll-time favorite song.

 

(And Robert Plant kissed me once... ;^)

Doofus. Better to spend your time figuring out For The Love of God by Steve Vai.
