Stairway to Heaven Tabs & Lyrics by Neil Sedaka
Stairway to Heaven
guitar tabs lyrics
ent topic of discussion in the tab groups is 'what are the lyrics to
'Stairway To Heaven' about, anyway?'. Well, the narrator obviously isn't
going to build a *physical* stairway to heaven - for one thing, how could
he move it around without bumping it into everything? Instead, 'build a
stairway to heaven' is a *metaphor* - like, you know, sometimes words have
two meanings.
