Tonality
Am
Thereʼs a lady whoʼs sure
CD
All that glitters is gold
FGAm
And sheʼs buying a stairway to heaven.
Am
When she gets there she knows
CD
If the stores are all closed
FGAm
With a word she can get what she came for.
CDFAmCGD
Ooh, ooh, and sheʼs buying a stairway to heaven.
CD
Thereʼs a sign on the wall
FAm
But she wants to be sure
CDFAm
ʼCause you know sometimes words have two meanings.
CD
In a tree by the brook
FAm
Thereʼs a songbird who sings,
CDFAm
Sometimes all of her thoughts are misgiven.
Am7D7Am7D7
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Am7D7Am7D7
Ooh, it makes me wonder.
CG
Thereʼs a feeling I get
Am
When I look to the west,
CGFAm
And my spirit is crying for leaving.
CG
In my thoughts I have seen
Am
Rings of smoke through the trees,
CGFAm
And the voices of those who stand looking.
Am7D7Am7D7
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Am7D7Am7D7
Ooh, it really makes me wonder.
CG
And itʼs whispered that soon
Am
If we all call the tune
CGFAm
Then the piper will lead us to reason.
CG
And a new day will dawn
Am
For those who stand long
CGFAm
And the forests will echo with laughter.
CG
If thereʼs a bustle in your hedgerow
Am
Donʼt be alarmed now,
CGFAm
Itʼs just a spring clean for the May queen.
CG
Yes, there are two paths you can go by
Am
But in the long run hereʼs still time
CGFAm
to change the road youʼre on, and it makes me wonder.
CG
Your head is humming and it wonʼt go
Am
In case you donʼt know,
CGFAm
The piperʼs calling you to join him,
CG
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow,
Am
And did you know
CGFAm
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind.
AmGFGAm
And as we wind on down the road
AmGFGAm
Our shadows taller than our soul.
AmGFGAm
There walks a lady we all know
AmGFGAm
Who shines white light and wants to show
AmGFGAm
How evʼrything still turns to gold.
AmGFGAm
And if you listen very hard
AmGFGAm
The tune will come to you at last.
AmGFGAm
When all are one and one is all
AmGFGAm
To be a rock and not to roll.
AmGFGAm
And sheʼs buying a stairway to heaven
