I think it is likely in DADGAD

Led Zeppelin did a version very much based on Bert Jansch's on Led Zeppelin I and that is definitely in DADGAD. The following is a very rough approximation of something like the main theme and beginning of the tune - there are probably lots of extra notes thrown in and open strings hit during it but the bones are there I think
