Am G C D
There's a la-dy who's sure, all that glitters, is gold,
Fmaj7 G Am~
and she's buy-ing a stairway to, heaven,
Am G C D
When she gets, there she knows, 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~
Ooooooooooh, and she's buy-ing a stairway to, heaven,
C D Fmaj7 Am
There's a sign, on the wall, but she wants, to be sure,
C D Fmaj7 Am~
'cause you know sometimes words, have, two meanings,

Am G C D
In a tree, by the brook, there's a song-bird- who sings,
Fmaj7 G Am~
Sometimes all of her, thoughts, are misgiven,

G/B

Am7 - Dsus4

D Am7 Em* D* C* D*
Oh it makes me wonder
Am7 Dsus4
D Am7 Em* D* C* D*
Oh it makes me wonder

C G/B Am
There's a feeling, I get, when I look, to the west
C G/B F Am
and my spirit, is crying for lea-ving
C G/B Am
In my thoughts, I have seen, rings of smoke, through the trees
C G/B F Am
and the voices of those who stand looking

C – G/B
Am7 - Dsus4

D Am7 Em* D* C* D*
Oh it makes me wonder
Am7 Dsus4
D Am7 Em* D* C* D*
Oh it makes me wonder

Am G F G
And as we wind on down the road,
Am G F G
Our shadows taller than our soul,
Am G F G
There walks the la-dy we all know,
Am G F G
Who shines white light and wants to show,
Am G F G
how everything still turns to gold,
Am G F G
And if you listen very hard,
Am G F G
the truth will come, to you at last,
Am G F G
When all are one and one is all,
Am G F G
To be a rock, and not to roll,

Am – G – F - G x2

Fmaj7~ G~ Am~
And she's buying, a stairway to heaven.

I'll include the chords to play over Am7 - x02010

its a 12 string.

The two guitars continue into this section. Walloping (a technical term
meaning hit very hard &) the strings using the full barre sounds pretty
good. The lead basically follows the bass. You can do both (like you
can tweak the slide riff with one guitar)

I think i can probably tabascii the bass now, ive listened to it enough.
But ive had it for this song!! unless someone really needs it please dont
ask just yet.. Ive gotten transfixed by a few other zepplin tracks
that where on the album, their slower more melodic stuff like no quarter
down by the seaside etc..
