THE WANTON SONG
As recorded by Led Zeppelin
(From the 1975 Album PHYSICAL GRAFFITI)
Words and Music by Jimmy Page and Robert Plant
Thanks to Kerry O'Brien and Steve Gorenberg for transcribing the Power Tab
version of this. I decided to submit this because there was no better text
version of the song. Awesome song by the way.
