Stairway To Heaven chords
Led Zeppelin 1971 (Jimmy Page / Robert Plant, Led Zeppelin IV)

 *      

            
There’s a lady

        *
 who’s sure
             
All that glitt

       
ers is gold
             
And she’s buyi

              
ng a stairway 

     
to heaven.
            
When she gets 

           *
there she know

s
             
If the stores 

        
are all closed
             
With a word sh

              
e can get what

         
 she came for.
           
Ooh, ooh, Ooh,

            
 ooh and she’s

            
 buying a stai

           
rway to heaven

.

            
There’s a sign

         *
 on the wall
             
But she wants 

      
to be sure
             
cause you know

              
 sometimes wor

             
ds have two me

  
anings.
            
In a tree by t

    *
he brook
             
There’s a song

         
bird who sings

,
             
Sometimes all 

              
of our thought

        
s are misgiven

.

       

             
Ooh, it makes 

          
me wonder,
       
Ooh,      and 

            
it makes me wo

       
nder.

             
There’s a feel

      
ing 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 t

rees,
             
And the voices

             
 of those who 

          
stand looking.

  

             
Ooh, it makes 

          
me wonder,
       
Ooh,      and 

            
it makes me wo

       
nder.

             
And its whispe

         
red 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 forest

             
s will echo wi

       
th laughter.

  

         


Ooooh

           
Oooooooh

   

            
If there’s a b

              
ustle in your 


hedgerow
          
Don’t be alarm

ed now,
            
It’s just a sp

              
ring clean for

     
 the may queen

.
             
Yes, there are

             
 two paths you

     
 can go by
           
But in the lon

g run
             
There’s still 

             
time to change

     
 the road you’

re on.
             
Ooh, it makes 

          
me wonder

            
Your head is h

              
umming and it 


won’t go
        
In case you do

n’t know,
            
The pipers cal

            
ling you to jo

in him,
            
Dear lady, can

              
 you hear the 


wind blow,
        
And did you kn

ow
             
Your stairway 

           
lies on the wh

                
ispering wind.

               2x

           
And as we wind

             
 on down the r

    \ 
oad
             
Our shadows ta

              
ller than our 

    \ 
soul.
              
There walks a 

            
lady we all kn

   \ 
ow
             
Who shines whi

              
te light and w

            \ 
ants to show
             
How everything

              
 still turns t

      \ 
o gold.
             
And if you lis

             \ 
ten very hard
              
The tune will 

             
come to you at

     \ 
 last.
             
When all are o

              
ne and one is 

   \ 
all
             
To be a rock a

          
nd not to roll

.

             
And she’s buyi

             
ng a stairway 

      
to heaven.

* E+ is an E augmented chord...perhaps the easiest way to play it is:
1st finger, first fret G string
2nd finger, first fret B string
3rd finger, 2nd fret D string

** It has been suggested to stay on Am rather then switch to G
