It's played in second position, (cross harp). I have played it many times and it depends on the key the guitar player wants to play it in. There are tabs you can find online, but the best way to learn a song is to lock yourself in a room and play it over and over. Have your harps, a pencil and paper and tab it out yourself. You can learn and mimic Robert Plant's playing, or you can make it your own. I prefer to back up the singer's vocals and take a 12 or 24 bar somewhere in the song.
