Bron-Y-Aur Stomp by Led Zeppelin is played in the key of C at a intermediate difficulty level, originally released in the 1970s. It uses 3 chords — C F G — arranged in the I-IV-V progression.

About the I-IV-V progression

The I-IV-V progression uses the three primary chords of the key — nothing else. It's the harmonic foundation of blues, folk, country, and early rock and roll. Learning to switch between these three chords fluently in every key is a fundamental milestone for beginner guitarists.

Playing in the key of C

C major is the theoretical home key of Western music: all natural notes, no sharps or flats. On guitar, C, Am, Em, F, and G are the working chords. The one wrinkle is F, which as the IV chord requires either a barre or a partial shape — the first "difficult" chord most beginners meet.
