Nobody's Fault But Mine Lyrics

Nobody's Fault But Mine Song Chart

This was inspired by American Blues singer Blind Willie Johnson, who played in the 1920s. In searching for a deeper meaning to the song, fans came up with a few ideas. Some thought it was about Jimmy Page's blossoming heroin addiction. Others thought it was comparable to Robert Johnson's "Hellhound On My Trail," in that it was Plant lamenting Zeppelin's supposed deal with the devil. A third theory is that Plant was apologizing for the song "In My Time Of Dying," which after his car crash he said he would never sing again.

Jimmy Page overdubbed his guitar intro 3 times. He played one guitar an octave higher than the others.

Robert Plant was recovering from a car accident and had to record his tracks from a wheelchair.

During the live version of this at Knebworth, Plant repeatedly screamed, "Oh Jimmy!" right before Page went into his solo. This was something Plant commonly did at live shows. (thanks, Adrian - Wilmington, DE)

Page and Plant played an acoustic version on their 1995 No Quarter tour, sometimes swapping it with "When The Levee Breaks." (thanks, Chris - Whitesboro, NY)

The Christian group The 77s recorded this for their 1994 album Drowning with Land in Sight. (thanks, Thomas - Marion, IN)
