[Verse 1]
           Am        Ammaj9
There’s a lady who’s sure,
           Am7         D/F#
All that glitters is gold.
           Fmaj7                G Am
And she’s buying a stairway to Heaven.
          Am            Ammaj9
When she gets there she knows,
        Am7             D/F#
If the stores are all closed,
       Fmaj7                      G    Am
With a word she can get what she came for.
C D/F#               C     
          And she’s buying 
    G          D
a stairway to Heaven.
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
           C           D
There’s a sign on the wall,
         Fmaj7      Am
But she wants to be sure.
            C              D         
‘Cause you know sometimes words have 
     Fmaj7
two meanings.
      Am            Ammaj9
In a tree by the brook,
            Am          D/F#
There’s a songbird who sings,
          Fmaj7               
Sometimes all of our thoughts 
      G  Am
are misgiven.

[Bridge 1]
 
Am7 D                Am7     Em/D D C/D D
    And it makes me wonder...
Am7 D                Am7     Em/D D C/D D
    And it makes me wonder...
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
           C         G
There’s a feeling I get,
        Am
When I look to the west.
         C        G         Fmaj7 Am
And my spirit is crying for leaving.
        C              G
In my thoughts I have seen,
          Am
Rings of smoke through the trees,
          C            
And the voices of those 
 G          Fmaj7 Am C G
who stand looking.
 
 
[Bridge 2]
Am7 D                Am7     Em/D D C/D D
    And it makes me wonder...
Am7 D                Am7     Em/D D C/D D
    And it makes me wonder...
 
 
[Verse 4]
           C             G
And it’s whispered that soon,
       Am
If we all call the tune,
         C           G          Fmaj7 Am
Then the piper will lead us to reason.
        C                  Am7
And a new day will dawn,
          Am
For those who stand long,
         C           G         Fmaj7 Am C G
And the forests will echo with laughter.

[Verse 5]
Am         G                 F
And as we wind on down the road,
Am           G               F
Our shadows taller than our souls,
Am             G            F
There walks a lady we all know,
Am                G                   F
Who shines white light and wants to show,
Am         G                   F
How everything still turns to gold.
Am          G           F
And if you listen very hard,
Am             G             F
The tune will come to you at last.
Am           G              F
When all are one and one is all, yeah.
Am       G           F
To be a rock and not to roll.

(Fmaj7)            N.C.
And she’s buying a stairway to Heaven.
