Stairway to Heaven
Led Zeppelin · 1971
🎤 Sing along
Sing with the chorus
- And she's buying a 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
Echo the hook
- Ooh, it makes me wonder
- Ooh, it makes me wonder
- There's a feeling I get
- When I look to the West
