Lyrics

There’s a (Am)la dy who’s (Am)sure

all that (C)glit ters is (D)gold, and she’s (Fmaj7)buy ing a stair way to (G)hea ven.

When she (Am)gets there she knows,

if the (C)stores are all (D)closed, with a (Fmaj7)word she can get what she (G)came for.

Ooh,

(Fmaj7)ooh,

(Am)ooh, and she’s (C)buy ing a (G)stair way to (Dsus4)hea ven.

There’s a (C)sign on the (D)wall,

but she (Fmaj7)wants to be sure, ’cause you (C)know some times (D)words have two (Fmaj7)mean ings.

In a (Am)tree by the (Am)brook,

there’s a (C)song bird who (D)sings, some times (Fmaj7)all of our thoughts are mis (G)giv en.

(Dsus4)Ooh,

it makes me won der.

(Am7)Ooh,

makes me won der.

There’s a (C)feel ing I get

when I (Am)look to the west, and my (C)spi rit 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.

Ooh,

it makes me won der.

(Am7)Ooh,

it (D)real ly makes me won der.

And it’s (C)whis pered that soon

if we (Am)all call tune, then the (C)pi per will (G)lead us to (Fmaj7)rea (Am)son.

And a (C)new day will (G)dawn,

for (Am)those who stand long,

(C)for ests will (G)ech o with (Fmaj7)laugh (Am)ter.

Ooh,

it makes me won der.

(Am7)Ooh,

it (D)real ly makes me won der.

And it’s

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 (Fmaj7)the May (Am)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 (Fmaj7)road you’re (Am)on.

And it makes me won der,

(D)Ah.

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

the pi per’s (G)call ing you (Fmaj7)to join (Am)him.

Dear la dy, (G)can you hear the (Am)wind blow, and did you know,

your stair way (G)lies on the (Fmaj7)whis p’ring (Am)wind.

And it makes me won der,

(D)Ah.

And as we wind on down the road,

our sha dows (G)tall er than our soul.

There walks a la dy we all (F)know,

who shines white (G)light and wants to (F)show,

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

And if you (G)lis ten ve ry hard,

the tune will (G)come to you at (F)last.

When all are one and one is (Fmaj7)all,

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

And she’s buy ing a stair way to (CN.C.)hea ven.
