For the intro, play the whole figure straight through twice. For the verses,
just play the first half.
The low E's are sort of optional - if it's tough, just play the high E's
by themselves, or kindly ask a bass player to play them.

I have just read an interview with Page where he explains how exactly he plays
the riff in "Whole lotta love".
The tablature in the archive is fine, but the original sounds a little different.
Here we go:
E--------------|--------------
B--------------|--------------
G--------------|--------------
D----0---0-----|-------------- } and repeate.
A----5~--5~-7--|-7-7-7---7-7-7
E--7---7----0--| 0-0-0---0-0-0
~ stands for slight bend, which is the trick here. D sounds on two strings
simultaniousely.
Intro + Main Riff:
e------------------|--------------------------- ----
b------------------|--------------------------- ----
[g------------------|-9-----------9-----------9- Continue this then -9\-

a-------5--------5-|-7-----------7-----------7- -7\-
e--5/7-------7-----|----0--0--0-----0--0--0---- ----

Repeat this over for the verses.
Chorus:

Well really, you could guess by now. Do the riff until it hurts, and fade out
What a legend of a song.

You've been coolin', baby, I've been droolin',
All the good times I've been misusin',

Gonna give you my love.
* Chorus
Way down inside... woman... You need... love.
Shake for me, girl. I wanna be your backdoor man.
Keep it coolin', baby.
