[edit] Unreferenced and inaccurate
"Harrison told Page that he had a great band (Led Zeppelin), but they didn't write enough ballads. As a tribute to Harrison, the first two notes of The Rain Song are the same as Harrison's "Something". "
First of all the the first two notes of this song are part of a slowly strummed/downward arpeggio singl chord. Perhaps this should be chords not notes. As I don't have access to a guitar at the moment I couldn't even tell you what they are as the song is played in an alternative turning to "normal" ie E A D G B E
Also, needs referencing. In fact, it needs reqwiting as it has specualtion and PoV. maybe I will visit it soon 8) Candy 13:44, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
I Believe the tuning to the song is E A D A D E however I will not change the page unless someone proves me correct - Phöénix 00:16, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "Something" needs to go!
"Although there is no proof, it has been said that Jimmy Page was inspired to write the song after a meeting with George Harrison. Harrison told Page that he had a great band (Led Zeppelin), but they didn't write enough ballads. As a tribute to Harrison, the first two notes of "The Rain Song" are the same as Harrison's "Something""
So, as there is no "proof" ie reference it is now being deleted by me. It doesn't make sense anyway - the first two notes come from an arpeggio.

- I see the part about Harrison is back. Please take this to discussion before reverting again. The source cited has NO SOURCES and one part (the bit about the chords being the same as Harrison's Something is a READER CONTRIBUTION - again unsourced). It's going again.
