 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  if the stores  are all closed,
 With a word  she can get what she came for.
   Woe oh oh, oh  oh oh.
  And she's buying  a stairway  to heaven.
 There's a sign  on the wall,  but she wants  to be sure,
 'Cause you know  sometimes words  have two meanings.
 In a tree  by the brook,  there's a songbird  who sings,
 Sometimes all  of our thoughts are misgiven.
  Ooo,  it  makes me wonder.
  Ooo,  makes  me wonder.
 There's a feeling  I get  when I look  to the west,
 And my spirit  is crying  for leaving.
 In my thoughts  I have seen  rings of smoke  through the trees,
 And the voices  of those  who stand looking.
  Ooo,  it makes  me wonder.
  Ooo,  it really  makes me wonder.
 And it's whispered that soon if we all call the tune,
 Then the piper will lead us to reason.
 And a new day will dawn for those who stand long,
 And the forests will echo with laughter.
If  there's a bustle  in your hedgerow,
 Don't be alarmed now,
It's  just a spring  clean for the May  Queen.
Yes,  there are two  paths you can go  by,
 But in the long run,
There's  still time  to change the road  you're on.
 And it  makes me wonder.
 Ahh.
 Your head is humming and it won't go,
 In case you don't know,
 The piper's calling you to join him.
 Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow,
 And did you know
 Your stairway lies on the whispering wind?
And  as we wind  on down the road,
Our  shadows taller  than our soul,
There  walks a lady  we all know,
Who  shines white light  and wants to show
How  ev'rything  still turns to gold.
And  if you listen  very hard,
The  tune will come  to you at last.
When  all are one  and one is all,
To  be a rock  and not to roll.
  And she's buying a stairway to heaven...

There's a [Am]lady who's [E+/G#]sure all that [C/G]glitters is [D/F#]gold,
And she's [Fmaj]buying a stairway to [G/B]heav[Am]en.

With a [Fmaj]word she can get what she [G/B]came [Am]for.

  [C]   Woe oh [D]oh, [Fmaj]oh oh [Am]oh.
     And she's [C]buying a [G]stairway to [Dsus4]heaven[D].

There's a [C]sign on the [D]wall, but she [Fmaj]wants to be [Am]sure,
'Cause you [C]know sometimes [D]words have two [Fmaj]meanings.

     Oo[Dsus4]o, it [D]makes me wonder. [Am7]     [Em/D]          [D]            [C/D]                [D]
     [Am7]Ooo,[Dsus4] it re[D]ally makes me wonder. [Am7]     [Em/D]          [D]            [C/D]                [D]

And it's whispered that soon if we all call the tune,

[C]If there's a [G/B]bustle in your [Am]hedgerow,
Don't be alarmed now,
[C]It's just a [G/B]spring clean for the [Fmaj]May Q[Am]ueen.

Your head is humming and it won't go,
In case you don't know,
The piper's calling you to join him.
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow,
And did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind?

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

     And she's buying a stairway to heaven...
