There’s a lady who’s sure,

All that glitters is gold.

And she’s buying a Stairway to Heaven.

When she gets there she knows,
FF AmAm
If the stores are all closed,

With a word she can get what she came for.

Verse 2:
CC DD
There’s a sign on the wall,
FF AmAm
But she wants to be sure.
CC GG AmAm
’Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.
CC DD
In a tree by the brook,
FF AmAm
There’s a songbird who sings,
CC GG AmAm
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.
Bridge 1:

And it makes me wonder...

Verse 3:
CC Am7Am7
There’s a feeling I get,
AmAm
When I look to the West.
CC GG AmAm
And my spirit is crying for leaving.
CC Am7Am7
In my thoughts I have seen,
AmAm
Rings of smoke through the trees,
CC GG AmAm
And the voices of those who stand looking.
Bridge 1
Verse 4:
CC Am7Am7
And it’s whispered that soon,
AmAm
If we all call the tune,
CC GG AmAm
Then the piper will lead us to reason.
CC Am7Am7
And a new day will dawn,
AmAm
For those who stand long,
CC GG AmAm
And the forests will echo with laughter.

Verse 5:
AmAm GG FF GG
And as we wind on down the road,
AmAm GG FF GG
Our shadows taller than our souls,
AmAm GG FF GG
There walks a lady we all know,
AmAm GG FF GG
Who shines white light and wants to show,
AmAm GG FF GG
How everything still turns to gold.
AmAm GG FF GG
And if you listen very hard,
AmAm GG FF GG
The tune will come to you at last.
AmAm GG FF
To be a rock and not a roll.
N.C.
And she’s buying a Stairway to Heaven.
Little "finishing-touch" solo
NOTE: These are not the same chords a single guitarist will be playing. This was
all done using the harmonics of each chord. So if someone tells you, "You’re
playing it wrong," tell them to play along and it will match. I promise.
That should just about do it. If you’re a rhythm player and you don’t wanna be
left out when the band starts playing this song, then this is for you. I didn’t
tab the solos because I play lead guitar and I wouldn’t want anybody just copying
my solos. It’s not fair to take those from Jimmy Page. They’re a part of him
and he’s a part of them. So I’ll leave that to the imagination (after all, it’s
always improvised anyway).
