[Verse 1]
Am C/G# C/G D/F#
There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
Fmaj7 G Am
And she's buying the stairway to heaven.
Am C/G# C/G D/F#
When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed
Fmaj7 G Am
With a word she can get what she came for.
C D Fmaj7 Am C G Dsus4 D
Ooh, ooh, and she's buying the stairway to heaven.
C D Fmaj7 Am
There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
C D Fmaj7
'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.
Am C/G# C/G D/F#
In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings,
Fmaj7 G Am
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.

Am7 (with E string on 3rd fret)
[Interlude]
Dsus4 D Am7 Em/D D C/D D
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Am7 Dsus4 D Am7 Em/D D C/D D
Ooh, it makes me wonder.
[Verse 2]
C G/B Am
There's a feeling I get when I look to the west,
C G/B Fmaj7 Am
And my spirit is crying for leaving.
C G/B Am
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees,
C G/B Fmaj7 Am C G/B Am7
And the voices of those who stand looking.
[Interlude]
Dsus4 D Am7 Em/D D C/D D
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Am7 Dsus4 D Am7 Em/D D C/D D
Ooh, it really makes me wonder.
[Verse 3]
C G/B Am
And it's whispered that soon if we all call the tune
C G/B Fmaj7 Am
Then the piper will lead us to reason.
C G/B Am
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
C G/B Fmaj7 Am C G/B Am7 Dsus4 D Em/D D C/D D
And the forests will echo with laughter.
(strum)
C G/B Am
If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now,
C G/B Fmaj7 Am
It's just a spring clean for the May queen.
C G/B Am
Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
C G/B Fmaj7 Am C G/B Am7 Dsus4 D
and there's still time to change the road you're on.
[Interlude]
Am7 Em/D D C/D D Am7 Dsus4 D
And it makes me wonder,
Am7 Em/D D C/D D
oh.
[Verse 4]
C G/B Am
Your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know,
C G/B Fmaj7 Am
The piper's calling you to join him,
C G/B Am
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, and did you know
C G/B Fmaj7 Am
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind...
[Interlude]
Hmmhmhmmmmmm Hmmmmm Hmm

[Final Verse]
(use a Am G F G barre chord sequence)
Am G F G
And as we wind on down the road
Am G F G
Our shadows taller than our soul
Am G F G
There walks the lady we all know
Am G F G
Who shines white light and wants to show
Am G F G
how everything still turns to gold
Am G F G
And if you listen very hard
Am G F G
the tune will come to you at last
Am G F G
When all are one and one is all
Am G F G
To be a rock and not to roll...
Am G F Am (3x)
