Led Zeppelin - Stairway To Heaven Chords, Lyrics, Tabs & Meaning


One of the best rock songs ever made, Stairway to heaven was a classic from Jimmy Page. A lot has been written and said about this song, but most of them were just rumours. This song is 8:03 long, but still became one of the most-played songs on American radio.

Rolling Stone magazine asked Jimmy Page how much of the guitar solo was composed before he recorded it. He replied: "It wasn't structured at all. I had a start. I knew where and how I was going to begin. And I just did it.

According to the radio trade magazine Monday Morning Replay, this song is still played 4,203 times a year by the 67 largest AOR (album-oriented rock) radio stations in the US, and i am sure India ain't far behind.

I play this song once a day atleast, and have been doing that for years... Well, i am a very very small guy to write or comment about this song, but i couldn't resist. I Will sing & play this song till the time i am old enough to not sing and play... Guess, that would be somewhere in 2099.. So till then, lets rock baby.


Led Zeppelin - Stairway To Heaven Chords lyrics Tabs Meaning


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

There's a [C]sign on the [D]wall but she [F]wants to be [Am]sure
'Cause you [C]know sometimes [D]words have two [F]meanings
In a [Am]tree by the [G]brook, there's a [C]songbird who [D]sings
Sometimes [F]all of our [G]thoughts are [Am]misgiven

[Dsus4] [Am] [G] [Dsus4] [D] and it make me wonder [Am] [G] [Dsus4] [D] [Dsus2] [D]
[Dsus4] [Am] [G] [Dsus4] [D] and it make me wonder [Am] [G] [Dsus4] [D] [Dsus2] [D]

There's a [C]feeling I [G]get when I [C]look to the [Am]west
And my [C]spirit is [G]crying for [F]leaving[Am]
In my [C]thoughts I have [G]seen rings of [C]smoke through the [Am]trees
And the [C]voices of [G]those who stand [F]looking [Am]

[Dsus4] [Am] [G] [Dsus4] [D] and it make me wonder [Am] [G] [Dsus4] [D] [Dsus2] [D]
[Dsus4] [Am] [G] [Dsus4] [D] and it really make me wonder [Am] [G] [Dsus4] [D] [Dsus2] [D]

And it's [C]whispered that [G]soon if we [C]all call the [Am]tune
Then the [C]piper will [G]lead us to [F]reason [Am]
And a [C]new day will [G]dawn for [C]those who stand [Am]long
And the [C]forest will [G]echo with [F]laughter [Am]

[C]If there's a [G]bustle in your [C]hedgerow, don't be [Am]alarmed now,
[C]It's just a [G]spring clean for the [F]May Queen [Am]
[C]Yes, there are [G]two paths you can [C]go by, but in the [Am]long run
[C]There's still [G]time to change the road [F]you're on [Am]

[Dsus4] [Am] [G] [Dsus4] [D] and it make me wonder [Am] [G] [Dsus4] [D] [Dsus2] [D]

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

[Dsus2] [Dsus4] [Dsus2] [Dsus4] [Dsus2] [Dsus4] [D] [Dsus2] [D] [Am]
[Dsus2] [Dsus4] [Dsus2] [Dsus4] [Dsus2] [Dsus4] [D] [Dsus2] [D] [Am]

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

And she's [F]buying a [G]stairway to [Am]heaven

The Scorpions - Winds of change Chords, meaning, Tabs, lyrics


This is a masterpiece by The Scorpions. This song was written by Klaus Meine, the vocalist of The Scorpions. This song has a deep meaning attached to it. The song tells you about the political changes in Eastern europe - Like the Fall of the Berlin Wall, and the imminent end of the Cold war.

It basically tells you about the changes that came by after the cold war or any kind of war for that matter. I have always been an Anti-war person, so that's one of the reason i like this song, and for the song holds true meaning and is beautifully composed and executed.

If you have any other meaning to the song or wanna discuss the song's meaning, chords, please comment.

Train - Drops of Jupiter Chords, Tabs, Meanings, Lyrics,



Amazing song this one is.. you hear for the first time and you will love it.. This is one of those songs that means different to different people. To me, this song is about people always wanting better things in life and not realizing that they would be happier with what they have. The line "Heaven is over-rated" really makes the theme stand out.

If you have any other meaning to this song, please comment.. and also, enjoy playing the chords.

Train - Drops of Jupiter Chords, Tabs

[C]Now that she's back in the atmosphere
With [G]drops of Jupiter in her [F]hair, hey, hey
She [C]acts like summer and walks like rain
[G]Reminds me that there's [F]time to change, hey, hey
[C]Since the return from her stay on the moon
She [G]listens like spring and she [F]talks like June, hey, hey

[G]Tell me, did you sail across the [D]sun
Did you make it to the Milky [F]Way to see the lights all faded
[C]And that heaven is overrated
[G]Tell me, did you fall for a shooting [D]star
[Dm]One without a permanent scar
And did you miss me while you were [F]looking for yourself out there

[C]Now that she's back from her soul vacation
[G]Tracing her way through the [F]constellation, hey, hey
She [C]checks out Mozart while she does tae-bo
Re[G]minds me that there's [F]time to grow, hey, hey

[G]Now that she's back in the [D]atmosphere
I'm afraid that she might [F]think of me as plain ol' Jane
Told a story about a man [C]who is too afraid to fly so he never did land

[G]Tell me, did the wind sweep you off your [D]feet
Did you finally get the [F]chance to dance along the light of day
And [C]head back to the Milky Way

And [G]tell me, did Venus blow your [D]mind
[Dm]Was it everything you wanted to find
And did you miss me while you were [F]looking for yourself out there

Can you imagine no [G]love, pride, deep-fried chicken
Your [D]best friend always sticking up for you even when I know you are wrong
Can you imagine no [F]first dance, freeze dried romance five-hour phone conversation
The best soy latte that you ever had... and [C]me

[G]Tell me, did the wind sweep you off your [D]feet
Did you finally get the [F]chance to dance along the light of day
And [C]head back to the Milky Way

Five For Fighting - Superman Chords, Meanings, Tabs, Lyrics


Beautiful song and beautiful meaning too... I believe, the artist somewhere relates to this song. The song basically deals with Superman and his super-powers. The song tells us what he thinks about himself, and that he does not like what he is, and he is actually trying to find out... whos is he?....

If you have other meaning to this song, please comment.. and also, enjoy playing the chords..

Five For Fighting - Superman Chords, Tabs

[C]I can't stand to [G]fly
[Am]I'm not that naive [F]
[C]I'm just out to [G]find
[Am]The better part of me [F]

I'm more than a [C]bird, I'm more that a [G]plane
More than some[Am] pretty face beside [F]a train
It's not [C]easy to [G]be [F]me [C]

[C]Wish that I could [G]cry
[Am]Fall upon my [F]knees
[C]Find a way to [G]lie
About a [Am]home I'll never [F]see

It may sound [C]absurd, but don't be n[G]aive
Even [Am]heroes have the [F]right to bleed
I may be disturbed[C], but won't you con[G]cede
Even [Am]heroes have the [F]right to dream
It's not [C]easy to [G]be [F]me [C] [G]

[Am]Up, up [G]ahead away [F]away from [Am]me
It's al[D]right, you can [Am]all sleep sound to[D]night
I'm not [F]crazy or [G]anything

[C]I can't stand to [G]fly
[Am]I'm not that naive [F]
[C]Men weren't meant to [G]ride
[Am]With clouds between their [F]knees

I'm [C]only a man in a [G]silly red sheet
[Am]Digging for kryptonite on this [F]one-way street
[C]Only a man in a [G]funny red sheet
[Am]Looking for special things [F]inside of me, inside of me, inside of me..

It's not [C]easy to [G]be [F]me [C]

The Eagles - Hotel California (Chords, lyrics, Meaning)



Playing this song was like a dream for me when i was a beginner with guitar, though i am still learning, i can play this song pretty well....

Well, i researched a lot for the meaning of this song, and to my surprise, i saw a lot of posts online, but after all the research only one post caught my mind, and got me thinking... The post said that this song is about Drug addiction, and i actually could not believe it at first, but when i read along, that guy had mentioned some lines from the song and he tried to relate them to drug addicts, and thats when i felt that this song is about drug addiction... these are the lines and the relation


"Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way " That's not a candle she's lighting up, its something else.

"Some dance to remember, some dance to forget" Some people do them to remember good memories, some people do them to forget bad one.

'We are all just prisoners here, of our own device" That is basically what drug users are.

"They stab it with their steely knives But they just can't kill the beast" The beast being the addiction.

"You can checkout any time you like, but you can never leave!" You can always say you aren't addicted or that you can quit anytime you want, but you'll always end up going back to them.

Hotel California Chords

Intro : Bm, F#, A, E, G, D, Em, F#

[Bm]On a dark desert highway, [F#]cool wind in my hair
[A]Warm smell of colitas, [E]rising through the air
[G]Up ahead in the distance, [D]I saw a shimering light
[Em]My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim, [F#]I had to stop for the night

[Bm]There she stood in the doorway, [F#]I heard the mission bell
[A]And I was thinking to myself: this could be [E]heaven or this could be hell
[G]Then she lit up a candle [D]and she showed me the way
[Em]There were voices down the corridor; [F#]I thought I heard them say:

"[G]Welcome to the Hotel Califor[D]nia
[F#]Such a lovely place (such a lovely place), such a [Bm]lovely face
[G]Plenty of room at the Hotel Califor[D]nia
Any [Em]time of year (any time of year), you can [F#]find it here"

[Bm]Her mind is Tiffany twisted, [F#]she got the Mercedes Benz
[A]She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, [E]that she calls friends
[G]How they dance in the courtyard, [D]sweet summer sweat
[Em]Some dance to remember, [F#]some dance to forget

[Bm]So I called up the captain, "[F#]Please bring me my wine", He said
[A]"We haven't had that spirit here since [E]nineteen sixty-nine"
[G]And still those voices are calling from [D]far away
[Em]Wake you up in the middle of the night, [F#]just to hear them say:

"[G]Welcome to the Hotel Califor[D]nia
[F#]Such a lovely place (such a lovely place), such a [Bm]lovely face
They [G]livin' it up at the Hotel Califor[D]nia
What a [Em]nice surprise (what a nice surprise), bring your [F#]alibis"

[Bm]Mirrors on the ceiling, [F#]the pink champagne on ice, and she said
"[A]We are all just prisoners here, [E]of our own device"
[G]And in the master's chambers, [D]they gathered for the feast
[Em]They stab it with their steely knives but they [F#]just can't kill the beast

[Bm]Last thing I remember, I was [F#]running for the door
[A]I had to find the passage back to the [E]place I was before
[G]Relax," said the night man, "We are [D]programmed to receive
[Em]You can check out any time you like, but [F#]you can never leave"

The Monkees/Smash Mouth/Shrek - I'm A Believer Chords


Well, I first heard this song in the movie Shrek and loved it.. This song was originally composed by Neil Diamond and recorded by the band 'The Monkees' in 1966 with the lead vocals by Micky Dolenz. Though, the version in the movie Shrek was a cover by Smash Mouth

I[G] thought love was o[D]nly true in f[G]airy tales.
M[G]eant for someone e[D]lse but not for [G]me.
L[C]ove was out to g[G]et me;
T[C]hat's the way it s[G]eemed;
D[C]isappointment h[G]aunted all my d[D]reams

Chorus :
Then I saw her f[G]ace [C] [G]
Now I'm a beli[G]ever [C] [G]
Not a tr[G]ace [C] [G] of doubt in my m[G]ind [C] [G]
I'm in l[G]o---[C]ve; I'm a beli[G]ever, I couldn't le[F]ave her if I t[D7]ried.

I[G] thought love was more or less a g[G]ivin' thing
It see[G]ms the more I g[D]ave the less I [G]got
W[C]hat's the use in tr[G]yin'
A[C]ll you get is p[G]ain
W[C]hen I needed sun[G]shine I got [D]rain.

Chorus :
