          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.
