Bron-yr-Aur Lyrics

Bron-yr-Aur Song Chart

This is a 2-minute acoustic guitar instrumental written by Jimmy Page.

Bron-yr-Aur (pronounced "Bron-rar") is a place in Wales where Page and Plant went after a tough tour in the US. They needed to put another album together, and decided to go there for a change of scenery. They ended up writing many of the songs for Led Zeppelin III on the trip.

Some minor string squeaks and small mistakes were left in to keep the live feel. Jimmy Page liked it that way.

This was recorded in 1970 at the Led Zeppelin III sessions. It was resurrected for Physical Graffiti to fill the double album.

The title is spelled differently from "Bron-y-aur," as in "Bron-y-aur Stomp," another Zeppelin song.

Led Zeppelin played this live during their early to mid 1970 tour to preview the third album, then it was dropped entirely from setlists. (thanks, Chris - Whitesboro, NY)

This song along with "Friends" features Open C tuning by Jimmy Page. The rattling heard in the song is from most of the strings being tuned low. (thanks, JT - Tullahoma, TN)

On the demos recorded at Headley Grange, you can hear Jimmy Page playing this, with young Carmen Plant's laughter in the background! (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)
