Verse 1

 
Am G
There’s a lady who’s sure all that glitters is gold,
C D F
And she’s buying a stairway to heaven.
Am G
When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed,
C D F G
With a word she can get what she came for.
 

Verse 2

 
C D Am
Ooh, ooh, and she’s buying a stairway to heaven.
C D
There’s a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure,
Am G
‘Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.
