Humble Pie tabs

Hi boys and girls, firs of all greetings from Spain and sorry cause my English is poor :D

I´m trying to learn some Humble Pie songs, like I´m Ready or C´mon Everybody (Humble Pie cover). My problem is that I can´t found any tabs on the web, and I´m trying to learn this songs by ear, which is very very difficult. At least, I got more than I expected. Anyone can help me ?
 
I had two songbooks back in the day (no longer have 'em) that you might search for on Ebay and elsewhere.

There was a songbook for the Smokin' album, in piano/vocal notation but it looked like they attempted to accurately depict Greg's bass lines instead of the generic piano quarter notes that you usually get in this type of standard notation. VERY unusual for the time, I thought. You get all the little variations from bar to bar in "The Fixer", for example.

The other one was a Peter Frampton songbook that had "Shine On" of course ( I think it came out some time after Comes Alive) and I'm thinking it had a few other tunes from his Pie days such as "I'm Ready".
 
At the moment I´m training my ear listening various songs like I´m Ready, 30 days in the hole, black coffee... I like a lot Greg's bass lines. Thanks for your reply man, I´ll look for those books you said, thanks again
