You Shook Me by Willie Dixon and J.B. Lenoir
performed by Led Zeppelin on Led Zeppelin
Wow, my first tab, and from the greatest band to ever play. I figured
this out by myself, no books (hence the many errors) Ok, this is a
basic slow blues, in E, as far as I can tell.

Ok, now we have an organ solo, harmonica solo, and a guitar solo.
Here are the basic chords played during all three. This is not
entirely accurate, but it's good enough for me. Sorry I couldn't
tab out the guitar solo, it's too fast for me to tab, but I can
fake it on a good day...
