The other tabs of this song on OLGA are good and my tab of the main riff 
differs only stylistically.  The main reason for my submission is the solo, 
which I had looked for on the internet for a while but couldn't find.  I'd 
like to thank Steve Ford for transcribing the essentials of it, which I have 
hence flushed out in an intrepretation that I hope others find to be a good 
rendering of Jimmy Page's flourish at the end of "The Ocean."


                             "The Ocean"

             from Led Zeppelin's 'Houses of the Holy' album
