Intro: Am E C D F G Am Am E C D F G Am C D F Am C G D D C D F Am C D F F Am E There’s a lady who’s sure C D All that glitters is gold, F G Am And she’s buying a stairway to heaven. Am E When she gets there she knows C D If the stores are all closed, F F G Am With a word she can get what she came for. C D F Am Woe oh oh, oh oh oh. C And she’s buying G D D A stairway to heaven. C D There’s a sign on the wall, F Am But she wants to be sure, C ‘Cause you know sometimes D F F Words have two meanings. Am E In a tree by the brook, C D There’s a songbird who sings, F F Sometimes all of our thoughts G Am Am Are misgiven. Am E C D F G Am Am D Am7 Em7 D C D Ooo, it makes me wonder. Am7 D Am7 Em7 D C D Ooooo, makes me wonder. C G There’s a feeling I get Am Am When I look to the west, C G F Am Am And my spirit is crying for leaving. C G In my thoughts I have seen rings Am Am Of smoke through the trees, C G And the voices of those F Am Am Who stand looking. C G Am Am D Am7 Em7 D C D Ooo, it makes me wonder. Am7 D Ooo, it really Am7 Em7 D C D Makes me wonder. C G And it’s whispered that soon Am Am If we all call the tune, C G F Am Am Then the piper will lead us to reason. C G And a new day will dawn Am Am For those who stand long, C G And the forests will echo F Am Am With laughter. C G Am Am D Am7 Em7 D C D Am7 D Am7 Em7 D C D C G Am If there’s a bustle in your hedgerow, Am Don’t be alarmed now, C G F Am Am It’s just a spring clean for the May Queen. C G Am Yes, there are two paths you can go by, Am But in the long run, C G There’s still time F Am Am To change the road you’re on. C G Am Am D Am7 Em7 D C D And it makes me wonder. Am7 D Am7 Em7 D C D Ahh. C G Am Your head is humming and it won’t go, Am In case you don’t know, C G F Am Am The piper’s calling you to join him. C G Am Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, Am And did you know C G Your stairway lies F Am Am C G D D On the whispering wind? D D D C C C C C D D D C C C G G Am G F F - x10 Am G F F And as we wind on down the road, Am G F F Our shadows taller than our soul, Am G F F There walks a lady we all know, Am G F F Who shines white light and wants to show Am G F F How everything still turns to gold. Am G F F And if you listen very hard, Am G F F The tune will come to you at last. Am G F F When all are one and one is all, Am G F F To be a rock and not to roll. Am G F F - x4 And she’s buying A stairway to heaven.
