[Verse 1]
AmC/G#C/GD/F#
There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
Fmaj7GAm
And she's buying the stairway to heaven.
AmC/G#C/GD/F#
When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed
Fmaj7GAm
With a word she can get what she came for.
CDFmaj7AmCGDsus4D
Ooh, ooh, and she's buying the stairway to heaven.
CDFmaj7Am
There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
CDFmaj7
'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.
AmC/G#C/GD/F#
In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings,
Fmaj7GAm
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.

[Interlude]
Dsus4DAm7Em/DDC/DD
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Am7Dsus4DAm7Em/DDC/DD
Ooh, it makes me wonder.
[Verse 2]
CG/BAm
There's a feeling I get when I look to the west,
CG/BFmaj7Am
And my spirit is crying for leaving.
CG/BAm
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees,
CG/BFmaj7AmCG/BAm7
And the voices of those who stand looking.
[Interlude]
Dsus4DAm7Em/DDC/DD
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Am7Dsus4DAm7Em/DDC/DD
Ooh, it really makes me wonder.
[Verse 3]
CG/BAm
And it's whispered that soon if we all call the tune
CG/BFmaj7Am
Then the piper will lead us to reason.
CG/BAm
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
CG/BFmaj7AmCG/BAm7Dsus4DEm/DDC/DD
And the forests will echo with laughter.
(strum)
CG/BAm
If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now,
CG/BFmaj7Am
It's just a spring clean for the May queen.
CG/BAm
Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
CG/BFmaj7AmCG/BAm7Dsus4D
and there's still time to change the road you're on.
[Interlude]
Am7Em/DDC/DDAm7Dsus4D
And it makes me wonder,
Am7Em/DDC/DD
oh.
[Verse 4]
CG/BAm
Your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know,
CG/BFmaj7Am
The piper's calling you to join him,
CG/BAm
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, and did you know
CG/BFmaj7Am
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind...
[Interlude]

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