Classic rockers - Help tab a Zepplin riff?

Sorry if this is a near duplicate post – I wasn’t sure if this was tabbing or general instruction.

I’m working on learning The Ocean by Led Zep. I’ve got the verse and chorus and the basic arrangement down. I’m working on properly learning the walking bass part at the end, but I can fake it for now.

The part that is stumping me is after the walking bass part starts, there is a full band unison riff (or two) that comes up in that outro solo and happens several times in the outro.

Anybody know what I’m talking about? Can anybody tab out that riff?

Any help is very appreciated. Thanks Talkbass!

I think you're talking about this:

After eight measures walking over a subdominant-dominant chord progression, JPJ plays that phrase. That happens three times during the song, and he plays some different notes each time (most noticeably the open E at the end of the third time - end of the song), but my transcription shows the main idea (IMO). Hope this helps.
