All that glitter[F]s is gold.[Am]
And sheâ??s buyi[C]ng a Stairway to[G] Heaven.[Am]
When she gets th[C]ere she knows,[D]

[C]Thereâ??s a sign[D] on the wall,
But she wants[F] to be [Am]sure.
â??Cause you kno[C]w sometimes words have t[G]wo meanings.[Am]

[C]Thereâ??s a[Am7] feeling I get,
When I look[Am] to the West.
And my spiri[C]t is crying [G]for leaving.[Am]

Rings of smoke t[Am]hrough the trees,
And the voices o[C]f those wh[G]o stand looking.[Am]

And itâ??s whisp[C]ered that soon,[Am7]
If we al[Am]l call the tune,

[Am]Who shines white light a[G]nd wants to show,[F] [G]
[Am]How everything s[G]till turns to gold.[F] [G]

[Am]The tune will come [G]to you at last.[F] [G]
[Am]To be a rock[G] and not a roll.[F]

And sheâ??s buying a Stairway to Heaven.
Little â??finishing-touchâ?? solo
NOTE: These are not the same chords a single guitarist will be playing. This was
all done using the harmonics of each chord. So if someone tells you, â??Youâ??re
playing it wrong,â?? tell them to play along and it will match. I promise.
That should just about do it. If youâ??re a rhythm player and you donâ??t wanna be
left out when the band starts playing this song, then this is for you. I didnâ??t
tab the solos because I play lead guitar and I wouldnâ??t want anybody just copying
my solos. Itâ??s not fair to take those from Jimmy Page. Theyâ??re a part of him
and heâ??s a part of them. So Iâ??ll leave that to the imagination (after all, itâ??s
always improvised anyway).
