Stairway to Heaven Harmonica Tab

(Page/Plant of Led Zeppelin)

Key: C Harmonica played in 1st Position.

Because of the way a diatonic harmonica is tuned you can play this song with any 10-hole harmonica that you have. However, if you want to jam along in tune with the original recording, you will need a C harmonica for the tab below.

 -6    -7 7 -7 -6   -7
There’s a lady who’s sure

-6   -7   7  -8   7  -7 -6
All that glitters is gold_

 7   -8    8 -8  7  -7  -6  6  6 -6
And she’s buying a stairway to heaven.

-6   -7   7    -7   -6   -7
When she gets there she knows

-6 -7    7    -8   7  -7 -6
If the stores are all closed

 7  -8  8   -8   7  -7   -6   6   6   -6
With a word she can get what she came for.

 

7 8 -8  -8 7 -7 7 -6  -6  -7    7 -8 8 -8 -8 7 -7  6   6 -6
Ooh___, ooh_________, and she’s buying  a stairway to heaven.

 

 -6    -7  7   -7 -6   -7
There’s a sign on the wall

-6  -7   7   -8  7  -7 -6
But she wants to be sure_

  7   -8   8   -8   7     -7    -6   6   6  -6
cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.

-6 -7  7   -7  -6   -7
In  a tree by  the brook

 -6    -7  7   -8   7  -7 -6
There’s a songbird who sings,

 7  -8     8  -8  7     -7    -6  6   6 -6
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.

 

 7   7   -7   7  -7 -6
Ooh, it makes me wonder,

 7   7   -7   7  -7 -6
Ooh, it makes me wonder.

 

  -6   -7  7  -7 -6 -7
There’s a feeling I­­ get

 -6  -7  7   -8  7  -7 -6
When  I look to the west_,

 7  -8  8 -8  7  -7 -6   6   6  -6
And my spirit is crying for leaving.

-6 -7    7    -8  7   -7 -6
In my thoughts I have seen_

 -6   -7   7     -8     7  -7 -6
Rings of smoke through the trees,

 7  -8   8 -8  7   -7   -6    6    6  -6
And the voices of those who stand looking.

 

 7   7   -7   7  -7 -6
Ooh, it makes me wonder,

 7   7  -7  7   -7   7  -7  -6
Ooh, it really makes me wonder.

 

-6   -7    7  -7    -6  -7
And it’s whispered that soon

-6 -7  7   -8   7  -7 -6
If we all call the tune­­_

 7   -8  8 -8   7    -7  -6 6   6  -6
Then the piper will lead us to reason.

-6 -7  7  -8   7   -7 -6
And a new day will dawn_

-6 -7    7   -8    7   -7 -6
__ For those who stand long_

 7  -8   8 -8    7  -7 -6  6    6   -6
And the forests will echo with laughter.

 

8    -8    7 -8  7  -6  6    -6   7
If there’s a bustle in your hedgerow

 -6   -6 6  -6    5
Don’t be alarmed now,

 

 -7   7   8   -8     7   -6   6   7   -6
It’s just a spring clean for the may queen.

 8    -8    7  -8    7   -6  6   -6 7
Yes, there are two paths you can go by

-6  -6  6   -6   5
But­­ in the long run

 7    7      8    -8  -7   7    -6   7     7    -6
___There’s still time to change the road you’re on.

 

-8  -8  -8   -8  7  7
And it makes me wonder.

 

 8    -8  7  -8  7   -6  6   -6   7
Your head is humming and it won’t go

7 -6  -6   6   -6    5
__In case you don’t know,

-7   7  8   -8  7  -6  6   7   -6
The pipers calling you to join him,

 8   -8 7  -8   7   -6   6   -6   7
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow,

-6 -6   6  -6   5
__ And did you know

 7     7   8   -8  -7  7   -6  7  7   -6
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind.

 

-6  -6 -6  7   -7  -6   6   -6
And as we wind on down the road

-6   -6 -6   7 -7   -6  -7  -7 -6
Our shadows taller than our soul_.

 -6    -6  -6 8 -8 7  -7  -7 -6
There walks a lady we all know_

-6    -6    -6     8   -8    7   -7 -7 -6
Who shines white light and wants to show_

 

-6  -6 -6   7    -7    -6   6   -6
How ev’ry thing still turns to gold.

-6  -6 -6   7 -7 -6 -7 -7 -6
And if you listen very hard_

-6   -6   -6   8   -8  7  -7 -7 -6
The tune will come to you at last_.

 -6  -6  -6   8  -8   7  -7 -7 -6
When all are one and one is all__

-6 -6 -6  7   -7   7  7   7
To be  a rock and not to roll.

 

 7   -8   8 -8 7 -7 7 -7 -6 6 6   7 -6
And she’s buy_ing a stair_way to heaven.
