-2 3 -3 -3 -3 3 -2 -1
When the storms of life are rag-ing,

2 -2**-2
Stand by me,

-2 -3 -4 -4 -4 5 -4 -3
When the storms of life are rag-ing,

-2 -3 -4
Stand by me;

-4 -4 6 5 -4 -3 -3
When the world is toss-ing me,

-2 3 -3 -3 -3 3 -2
Like a ship up-on the sea,

-2 3 -3 -3 -3 3 -2 -1
Thou who rul-est wind and wa-ter,

2 -2**-2
Stand by me.

verse 2
In the midst of trib-u-la-tions, Stand by me,
In the midst of trib-u-la-tions, Stand by me;
When the hosts of hell as-sail,
And my strenth begins to fail,
Thou who never lost a bat-tle, Stand by me.

verse 3
In the midts of falts and fail-ures, Stand by me,
In the midts of falts and fail-ures, Stand by me,
When I do the best I can,
And my friends mis-un-der-stand,
Tho who knowest all a-bout me, Stand by me.

verse 4
In the midts of per-se-cu-tion, Stand by me,
In the midts of per-se-cu-tion, Stand by me,
When my foes in battle ar-ray,
Un-der-take to stop my way,
Thou who saved Paul and Si-las, Stand by me.

verse 5
When I’m grow-ing old any fee-ble, Stand by me,
When I’m grow-ing old any fee-ble, Stand by me,
When my life becomes a bur-den,
And I’m near-in chilly Jor-dan,
O thou Lil-y of the Val-ly, Stand by me.

If you can’t do bends then here’s the same bass line but without bends

example):

change it a bit. With this version you still play the same notes just

Now it’s gettin’ so I’m mad when someone says your name

5 5 -5 5 -5 -6 6 -5 5 -4 -4 4 4 -4 5

‘Cause I’ve had to say good-bye to friends who couldn’t stay
away

6 7 7 -7 7 -7 -8 7 -7 -6 -6 6 6 5 -6 6

And sometimes it felt so wrong to never want to lean on you

5 -5 5 -5 5 -5 6 5 -4 4

You may stand tall, but I’ve got two feet too

3 3 6 6 6 6 -6 6 -5 5 -4 -4 5

Now we talked of you in bars around a quiet beer

-5 5 -5 -6 6 -5 5 -4 -4 4 4 -4 5

Tell their tales of mine-gone stones where no one else can
hear

5 7 7 7 -7 -8 7 -7 -6 6 6 6 5 -6 6

And later on outside, they say they’re gettin’ on a plane

5 -5 5 -5 -5 6 5 -4 4

To fly away, leavin’ you again

CHORUS:

5 6 -6 6 -6 6 4 -4 -4 5

California, my friends all call you home

-5 -5 5 -4 4 -4 5 -5 5 -4 5 5 5 -4 4 5

And if you take away another, I’ll be that much more alone

-6 -6 -6 7 7 -7 7 -7 -6 6 6 6 6 5 -6 6

Is it my fault that my kind are always drawn toward the sun

5 5 -5 5 -5 5 -5 6 5 -4 4

Like a child to home whenever darkness comes

INTERLUDE

3 3 3 6 6 6 -6 -6 6 -5 5 -4 -4 -4 4 5 -5 5 -4

Now in a few more years, I won’t remember what it was to play

5 -5 5 -5 -6 6 -5 5 -4 5 5 -4 4 5

The music of old friends who need to live so far away

5 7 7 7 7 7 -7 -8 7 -7 -6 -6 6 6 5-6 6

But can I once taste more than waters, then forsake them for the
South

5 -5 -5 5 -5 5 -5 6 5 -4 4

To feel California’s ashes in my mouth

welcome. Thank you

My tea’s gone cold I’m wondering why I

5 5 5 5 -5 -4 4 -4

Got out of bed at all

4 4 5 -3 3

The morning rain clouds up my window

5 5 5 5 -4 4 -4 -4

And I can’t see it all

6 -6 5 -5 5

Even if I could it’ll all be grey

6 6 6 6 -4 4 4 5 4 -4

But your picture on my wall

4 -4 5 -5 5 -4 5

It reminds me

3 4 -4 4

That its not so bad

4 4 5 4 -4

Its not so bad

Can’t we sail a-way on a lit-tle dream

Set-tle high on the crest of the hill?

This is just the first part of the recorders that play in the intro to
Stairway to Heaven. I believe that this is more accuate than some of
the other versions. I’m still working on it, and I will update it
later.

I was looking for a harp tab for the flute-intro recently and all i found sounded somehow wrong… So I took the one wich I tought sounded the most correct and went over it and this is my version now.
I don’t say that this is the best version available, but to me, it sounded correct 😉

And if you have any suggestions, how i could do this one better, feel free to send me a pm. 🙂

There’s a la-dy who’s sure
-3 -4 5 -5 5 -4-3
All that glit-ters is gold
4 -5 6 -5 5 -4 -3 3 3 -3
And she’s buy-ing a stair-way to heav-en.
-3 -4 4 -4 -3 -4
When she gets there she knows
-4 -4 5 -5 4 -4 -3
If the stores are all closed
4 -5 6 -5 5 -4 -3 -3 3 -3 -3
With a word she can get what she came for.

In a tree by the brook-

There’s a song-bird who sings

Some-times all of our thoughts

When I look to the west
4 -5 6 -5 4 -4 -3 3 3 -3
And my spir-it is cry-ing for leav-ing.

-3 -4 5 -5 4 -4-3
In my thoughts I have seen

Rings of smoke through the trees

Oooh it real-ly makes me won-der.

There’s a lady who’s sure all that glitters is gold-
4 -5 6 -5 4 -4 -3 3 3 -3
And she’s buying a stairway to heaven.
-3 -4 4 -4 -3 -4 -4 -4 4 -5 4 -4 -3

4 -5 6 -5 4 -4 -3 3 3 -3
Then the piper will lead us to reason.
-3 -4 4 -5 4 -4 -3 -4 4 -5 4 -4 -3
And a new day will dawn- for those who stand long-
4 -5 6 -5 4 6 -5 4 3 -3
And the forests will echo with laughter.

6 -5 4 -5 4 -3 3 -3 4 -3 -3 3 -3 -3 2
If there’s a bustle in your hedgerow, don’t be alarmed now,
-4 4 6 -5 4 -3 3 4 -3
It’s just a spring clean for the May queen.
6 -5 4 -5 4 -3 3 -3 4 -3 -3 3 -3 2
Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
4 6 -5 -4 4 -3 4 4 -3

SPOKEN

The night was clear,

And the moon was yell-ow,

And the leaves,

Came tum-blin’ down.

I was stand-in’

On the corn-er,

When I heard,

My bull dog bark,

He was barkin’ at two men,

Who were gamblin’

In the dark.

It was Stagger Lee and Billy,

Two men who gambled late,

Stagger Lee threw seven,

Billy swore that he threw eight.

Stagger Lee told Billy,

I can’t let you go with that,

You’ve won all my money,

And my brand new Stetson hat.

Stagger Lee went home,

And got his forty four,

And said «I’m goin’ to that bar room

Just pay that debt I owe»

SPOKEN

Stagger Lee went to the bar room,

And he stood across,

That bar room door.

He said «He said nobody move»

And he pulled his forty four.

«Stagger Lee» cried Billy,

«Oh please don’t take my life,

I’ve three little children,

And a very sickly wife»

Stagger Lee shot Billy,

Oh he shot that poor boy bad,

Till the bullet went through Billy,

And broke that bar man’s hand.

CHORUS (Tabs as above)

Go Stagger Lee, Go Stagger Lee,

Go, Go, Go, Stagger Lee,

Go, Go, Go,

Go, Go Go,

Stagger Lee!

He was bark-in’ at the two men,

Who were gam-blin’ in the dark.

It was Stag-ger Lee and Billy,

Two men who gam-bled late,

Stag-ger Lee three sev-en,

Bill-y swore that he threw eight.

Stag-ger Lee told Bill-y,

I can’t let you go with that,

You’ve won all my mon-ey,

And my brand new Stet-son hat.

Stag-ger Lee went home,

And got his fort-y four,

Said «I’m go-in’ to the bar room,

Just to pay that debt I owe.

Go Stag-ger Lee, Go Stag-ger Lee,

Go Go Go, Stag-ger Lee,

Go Go Go, Go Go Go,

Stag-ger Lee.

Stag-ger Lee went to the bar room,

And he stood a-cross that bar room door,

He said «No-bod-y move»

And he pulled his fort-y four.

Stag-ger Lee, cried Bill-y,

«Oh please don’t take my life,

Ive three little children,

And a very sickly wife».

Stag-ger Lee shot Bill-y,

Oh he shot that poor boy bad,

Till the bullet came through Bill-y,

And broke that bar-ten-ders hand.

Go Stag-ger Lee, Go Stag-ger Lee,

Go Go Go, Stag-ger Lee,

Go Go Go, Go Go Go,

Stag-ger Lee.
