D-DU-UDU
 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.
Ooh, ooh, Ooh, ooh  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.
Ooh,  it makes me wonder,
Ooh,  and it 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.
Ooh,  it makes me wonder,
Ooh,  and it makes me wonder.
 And its 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.
Ooh,  it makes me wonder
Your  head is humming  and it won  t go
 In case you  don t know,
The  pipers 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 everything  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]sure
All that [C]glitters is [D]gold
And she s [F]buying a stairway to [G]hea[Am]ven.

There s a [Am]sign on the [E]wall
But she [C]wants to be [D]sure
cause you [F]know sometimes words have two [G]mean[Am]ings.
In a [Am]tree by the [E]brook
There s a [C]songbird who [D]sings,
Sometimes [F]all of our thoughts are [G]mis[Am]given.

For [Am]those who stand long
And the [C]forests will [G]echo with [F]laugh[Am]ter.

[C]If there s a [G]bustle in your [Am]hedgerow
Don t be [G]alarmed now,

[C]The pipers [G]calling you to [Am]join him,
[C]Dear lady, [G]can you hear the [Am]wind blow,
And did [G]you know
[C]Your stairway [G]lies on the [Am]whispering wind.

How every[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 [F]all[G]  [Am]
To be a [G]rock and not to [F]roll.

And she s [F]buying a [G]stairway to hea[Am]ven.
