This is the order for the intro: Part A, Part B, Part A, Part C.

1st Verse

(played with part A)

There's a lady who's sure 
all that glitters is gold
and she's buying the 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

CHORUS
(played with part C)

Oooooooooo
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

2nd Verse

With Part C:

There's a sign
on the wall
but she wants
to be sure 
'cause you know
sometimes words  
have two meanings

With Part A:

In a tree
by the brook
there's a songbird
who sings
sometimes all of our thoughts
are misgiven

the next part is played with the same chords as in part A, but they are
picked differently.  If you have this on CD/tape, it should be pretty easy
to figure out.

CHORUS #2

Am7 (six times) A7sus4  D/A             Am7
		Ooooooooo it makes me wonder

Am7 (six times) Em/D D C/D D    Am7      A7sus4  D
	       			Ooooooooo -      makes me wonder

Through this next verse, play C G/B Am C G/B Fmaj7 Am,  picked similarly
to the intro.

3rd Verse

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 watching

CHORUS #2

The next verse has the same chords/picking

4th Verse

And it's 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

CHORUS #2 (just cords w/out 'makes me wonder')

The next verse is played with the same chords/picking.

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

CHORUS #2

Same chords/picking:

Your head is humming and it won't go - in case you don't know
the piper's calling you to join him
Dear lady can you hear the wind blow - and did you know
your stairway lies on the whisp'rin' wind

C (picked)  G/B (picked)  D 

The D chord is picked while changing the finger on the high E string from
2 to 3 to 0.  This should be pretty easy to figure out.

Solo:

I'm sorry, but I can't type in the rest of the song, because I have to
leave.  This IS most of the solo.  The chords for the rest of the song are:

AmV  G  F  G 

and then

A5  Am C/G (type 2)  C/G  F(type 2)   Fmaj7
