                          And she\'s buying a stairway to heaven... 

Lyrics...

There\'s a lady who\'s sure all that glitters is gold 
And she\'s buying the stairway to heaven. 
When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed 
With a word she can get what she came for. 
Ooh, ooh, and she\'s buying the stairway to heaven. 

There\'s a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure 
\'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings. 
In a tree by the brook, there\'s a songbird who sings, 
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven. 
Ooh, it makes me wonder, 
Ooh, it makes me wonder. 

There\'s a feeling I get when I look to the west, 
And my spirit is crying for leaving. 
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees, 
And the voices of those who stand looking. 
Ooh, it makes me wonder, 
Ooh, it really makes me wonder. 

And it\'s whispered that soon if we all call the tune 
Then the piper will lead us to reason. 
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long 
And the forests will echo with laughter. 

If there\'s a bustle in your hedgerow, don\'t be alarmed now, 
It\'s just a spring clean for the May queen. 
Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run 
There\'s still time to change the road you\'re on. 
And it makes me wonder. 

Your head is humming and it won\'t go, in case you don\'t know, 
The piper\'s calling you to join him, 
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, and did you know 
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind. 

And as we wind on down the road 
Our shadows taller than our soul. 
There walks a lady we all know 
Who shines white light and wants to show 
How everything still turns to gold. 
And if you listen very hard 
The tune will come to you at last. 
When all are one and one is all 
To be a rock and not to roll. 

And she\'s buying the stairway to heaven.

This is my first tab, i hope you enjoy it, and 
please hold the criticism and corrections, just 
look at a different one please

Hey you know that this tab is practically the exact same as everybody else's. Just thought I would let you know. Take a look at the way I play the solo if you know what is good for you.
