Tom : Dm
Dm A F G
There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
Bb C Dm
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
Dm A F G
When she gets there she knows if the stores are all closed
Bb C Dm
With a word she can get what she came for
F G Bb Dm F C G
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh,...a stairway to heaven
F G Bb Dm
There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
F G Bb
Because you know sometimes words have two meanings
Dm A F G
In a tree by the brook there's a songbird who sings
Bb C Dm
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven
[Instrumental]
Dm A F G Bb C Dm
as opening chord sequence
[Bridge]
Dm G Dm G
Oh-oh, makes me wonder
Dm G
I wonder
Dm G
I really, really wonder
[Verse 2]
F C Dm
There's a feeling I get when I look to the west
F C Dm
And my spirit is crying for leaving
F C Dm
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees
F C Bb Dm
And the voices of those who stand looking
F C Bb Dm
Ooh, oooh
F C Dm
It's whispered that soon if we all call the tune
F C Bb Dm
Then the piper will lead us to reason
F C Dm
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
F C Bb Dm
And the forests will echo with laughter
[Bridge]
F Dm G Dm G
Oh-oh-oh-oh, Ooh, ooh, ooh,... ooh...
[Verse 3]
F C Dm
If there's a bustle in your hedgerow don't be alarmed now
F C Bb Dm
It's just a spring clean for the May queen
F C Dm
Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
F C Bb Dm G
There's still some time to change the road you're on
Dm G
Oh, it makes me wonder
F C Dm
Your head is humming and it won't go in case you don't know
F C Dm
The piper's calling you to join him
F C Dm
Oh, can you hear the wind blow
F C Bb Dm
And did you know your stairway lies upon the whispering wind
F C G
Stairway to heaven, stairway to heaven
[Verse 4]
F
You can't buy it, you can't borrow
F G
You've got to walk it straight and narrow
F C Dm Bb
Stairway to heaven, stairway to hea.....ven
Dm C Bb Dm C Bb Dm C Bb
......stairway to heaven........ooh, ooh, ooh
Dm C Bb
And as we walk on down the road
Dm C Bb
Our shadows longer than our souls
Dm C Bb
All that glitters is not gold
Dm C Bb Dm C Bb
Wanna be a rock and not a roll........
Dm C Bb
Oh, the great almighty dollar leaves you lonely, lost and hollow
Dm
You can't fool yourself forever
C Bb
You got to work to get to heaven
Dm C Bb
Stairway to heaven
Dm C Bb
If we listen and hold fast
Dm C Bb
To every question that we asked
Dm C Bb
The truth will come to us at last
N.C Dm
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
