Stairway to Heaven – Led Zeppelin
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Written by: Page/Plant
From: "Led Zeppelin IV" (1971)
Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard
Some of the versions here are easy to play, but do not sound right at all.
Others have the correct chords, but are probably too difficult for many
players who are familiar with some basic shapes but are not yet used to
go beyond the first three frets and may have problems playing barre
chords. With this version I tried to go a middle way.
I kept the chords easy to play, but they should still fit the
original. Some may have intimidating names but don't let that discourage
you: if you look at the voicings, you'll notice they are not difficult
because I cut them down so they can mostly be played using only two or
three fingers of the left hand and there are no barre chords at all.

[Verse 1]
There's a lady
who's sure al

And she's buyi

With a word sh

Ooh, ooh, ooh,
ooh-ooh, ooh

And she's buyi

[Verse 2]
There's a sign
on the wall b
ut she wants t
o be sure
'Cause you kno
w sometimes wo
rds have two m
eanings
In a tree by t
he brook, ther
e's a songbird
who sings
Sometimes all
of our thought
s are misgiven

There's a feel

I look to the

And the voices
of those who

And it's whisp

Then the piper

And the forest

Our shadows

How everythi

And if you l

When all are

To be a rock
