1. There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold

with a word she can get what she came for.
C - D F - Am C G D
O…h , o…..h, and she's buying a stairway to heaven.

In a tree by the brook there's a songbird who sings,

In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees,
C G F Am
and the voices of those who stand looking
C - G - Am - D Am - D
Oh, it makes me wonder.
Am - D - Am - D
Oh, it really makes me wonder.

4. And it's whispered that soon if we all call the tune,
C G F Am
then the piper will lead us to reason.
C G Am
And the new day will dawn for those who stand long,
C G F Am
and the forest will echo with laughter.
C - G - Am - D Am - D Am - D Am - D

5. If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now,
C G F Am
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.

Dear lady can you hear the wind blow and did you know,
C G F Am
your stairway lies on the whispering wind.

7. And as we wind on down the road,
G-Am G F
our shadows taller than our soul,
G-Am G F
there walks the lady we all know,
G-Am G F
who shines white light and wants to know,
G-Am G F
how everything still turns to gold.
G-Am G F
And if you listen very hard,
G-Am G F
the time will come to you at last,
G-Am G F
when all are one and one is all,
G-Am G F
to be a rock and not to roll.
Am - G - F Am - G - F Am - G - F Am - G - F
