  • Tuning: Standard
     
    The main strum would be similar to this, a kind of reggae syncopation I guess:
  •  
    (d = downstroke u = upstroke)
     
  • d d d d d d d u d u

    Heres the full lyrics, complete with Rolfs adlibbing.
     
  • Theres a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold - And shes buying a stairway to heaven
    All together now, and shes buying a stairway to heaven
    When she gets there she knows, if those stores are all closed
  • With a word she can get what she came for
    All together now, with a word she can get what she came for
     
  • Ooh and it makes me wonder
    (How does it affect you blokes?) Ooh and it makes us wonder
    (That's interesting that, yeah)
  •  
    Theres a sign on the wall, but she wants to be sure
    Cos you know words sometimes have two meanings
  • All together now, cos you know words sometimes have two meanings
     
    (A lot of words have two meanings
  • Um, like in this song the word to buy
    Buying a stairway to heaven, bought
    [pause] oh no, thats brought isnt it
  • Well, er, theres lots of words have two meanings)
     
    In the tree by the brook, theres a songbird who sings
  • Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven
    All together now, sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven
     
  • (Miss Given? Just change instruments now. Thankyou very much.
    Miss Given ladies and gentlemen. Isnt it nice to have your name mentioned in the song?
    Isnt that good. Lovely lady)

    Can I change instruments again? Thank you.
    [clears throat] Nearly finished [laughs])
  •  
    Theres a lady Im sure that Ive mentioned before (yes I did, yes)
    And shes buying a stairway to heaven
  • All together now, and shes buying a stairway to heaven
     
    Ooh and it makes me wonder
  • Ooh and it makes us wonder
    Ooh and it makes us wonder
    It makes us wonder
