The story behind the song

"Stairway to Heaven" is a legendary song from Led Zeppelin's untitled fourth studio album, released in 1971. Guitarist Jimmy Page composed the music, and lead singer Robert Plant wrote the lyrics. The song is famous for its three distinct sections, starting slow and acoustic before building to an uptempo hard rock arrangement with Page's guitar solo and Plant's powerful vocals. It remains one of rock's most iconic tracks.

C D Fmaj7 Am C D Fmaj7

[Verse 1]

Am Ammaj9

There’s a lady who’s sure,

Am7 D/F#

All that glitters is gold.

Fmaj7 G Am

And she’s buying a stairway to Heaven.

Am Ammaj9

When she gets there she knows,

Am7 D/F#

If the stores are all closed,

Fmaj7 G Am

With a word she can get what she came for.

C D Fmaj7 Am C G Dsus4 D

Oo-ooh ooh - ooh, and she’s buying a stairway to Hea - ven.

[Verse 2]

C D

There’s a sign on the wall,

Fmaj7 Am

But she wants to be sure.

C D Fmaj7

‘Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.

Am Ammaj9

In a tree by the brook,

Am7 D/F#

There’s a songbird who sings,

Fmaj7 G Am

Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.

Oooooooooh, it makes me wonder...

[Verse 3]

C G/B

There’s a feeling I get,

When I look to the west.

C G/B Fmaj7 Am

And my spirit is crying for lea - ving.

In my thoughts I have seen,

Rings of smoke through the trees,

C G/B Fmaj7 Am C G/B

And the voices of those who stand loo - king.

[Bridge 2]

Oooooooh, it makes me wonder...

Oooooooooh, it really makes me wonder...

[Verse 4]

And it’s whispered that soon,

If we all call the tune,

C G/B Fmaj7 Am

Then the piper will lead us to rea - son.

C G/B

And a new day will dawn,

For those who stand long,

C G/B Fmaj7 Am C G/B

And the forests will echo with laugh-ter.

[Bridge 3]

Am7 D Am7 Em/D D C/D D

[Verse 5]

C G/B Am

If there’s a bustle in your hedgerow

Don’t be alarmed now,

C G/B Fmaj7 Am

It’s just a spring clean for the May queen.

C G/B Am

Yes, there are two paths you can go by

But in the long run

C G/B Fmaj7 Am C G/B

There’s still time to change the road you’re on.

[Bridge 4]

Am7 D Am7 Em/D D C/D D

And it makes me wonder...

Am7 D Am7 Em/D D C/D D

Ohhh-ohhh

[Verse 6]

C G/B Am

Your head is humming and it won’t go

In case you don’t know,

C G/B Fmaj7 Am

The piper’s calling you to join him,

C G/B Am

Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow,

And did you know

C G/B Fmaj7 Am C G/B D

Your stairway lies on the whispering wind.

And as we wind on down the road,

Am G F

Our shadows taller than our souls,

Am G F

There walks a lady we all know,

Am G F

Who shines white light and wants to show,

Am G F

How everything still turns to gold.

Am G F

And if you listen very hard,

Am G F

The tune will come to you at last.

Am G F

When all are one and one is all, yeah.

Am G F

To be a rock and not to roll.
