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)
