Lyrics

There’s a (Am)la dy who’s sure all that (C)glit ters is (D)gold, and she’s (Fmaj7)buy ing a stair way to (G)heav en.

When she (Am)gets there she knows, if the (C)stores are all (D)closed, with a word she can get what she (G)came (Am)for.

Ooh,

(Fmaj7)ooh, (Am)ooh, and (G)she’s (C)buy ing a (G)stair way to (G)heav en.

There’s a (C)sign on the wall, but she (Fmaj7)wants to be sure, ’cause, you (C)know, some times (D)words have true (Em)mean (Fmaj7)ing.

In the (Am)tree by the brook there’s a (C)song bird who (D)sings.

Some times (Fmaj7)all of our thoughts are mis (G)giv (Am)en.

(D)Ooh, it makes me won der.

(Am7)Ooh,

(D)it makes me won der.

(D6)There’s a (C)feel ing I (G)get when I (Am)look to the west and my (C)spir it is (G)cry ing for (Fmaj7)leav (Am)ing.

In my (C)thoughts I have (G)seen rings of (Am)smoke through the trees, and the (C)voic es of (G)those who stand (Fmaj7)look (Am)ing.

(Am7)Ooh,

(D)it makes me won der.

(Am7)Ooh,

(D)real ly makes me won der.

(D6)And it’s (C)whis pered that (G)soon if we (Am)all call the tune then the (C)pip er will (G)lead us to (Fmaj7)rea (Am)son,

and a (C)new day will (G)dawn for (Am)those who stand long, and the (C)for est will (G)ech o with (Fmaj7)laugh (Am)ter.

Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

If there’s a (G)bus tle in your (Am)hedge row, don’t be a larmed now: it’s just a (G)spring clean for the (F)May (Am7)queen.

Yes, there are (G)two paths you can (Am)go by, but in the long run

there’s still (G)time to change the (F)road (Am7)you’re on.

And it makes me won der.

Your head is (G)hum ming and it (Am)won’t go, in case you don’t know.

The pip er’s (G)call ing you to (Fmaj7)join (Am7)him.

Dear la dy, (G)can you hear the wind blow?

And did you know your stair way (G)lies on the (Fmaj7)whis (Am7)p’ring wind?

(G)Oh.

And as we wind on down the road,

our shad ows (G5)tall er than our (F5)soul,

there walks a la dy we all (F5)know,

who shines white (G5)light and wants to (F5)show

how ev ’ry thing still turns to (F5)gold.

And if you (G5)lis ten ver y (F5)hard,

the tune will come to you at (F5)last,

when all are (G5)one and one is all,

to be a rock, and not (Fmaj7)to roll.

And she’s buy ing a stair way to heav en.
