I was at Coachella
F
Leaning on your shoulder
C
Watching your husband swing in time
G
I guess I was in it
F
'Cause baby, for a minute
C
It was Woodstock in my mind
G
In the next morning
F
They put out the warning
C
Tensions were rising over country lines
G
I turned off the music
F
Tried to sit and use it
C
All of the love that I saw that night
Pre-Chorus 1AmG
'Cause what about all these children
DC
And what about all their parents
AmG
And what about about all their crowns they wear
DC
In hair so long like mine
AmG
And what about all their wishes
DC
Wrapped up like garland roses
AmG
Round their little heads
DC
I said a prayer for a third time
ChorusEmCD
I'd trade it all for a stairway to heaven (a stairway, stairway)
EmCD
I'd take my time for the climb up to the top of it (stairway)
EmCD
I'd trade the fame and the fortune and the legend (stairway)
AmCD
I'd give it all away if you give me just one day to ask him one question
AmCD
I'd give it all away if you give me just one day to ask him one question
Verse 2G
I was at Coachella
F
Leaning on your shoulder
C
Watching your husband swing and shine
GF
I'd say he was hella, cool to win them over
C
Critics can be so mean sometimes
GFC
He was on his knees and I thought he was breaking 'em down with his words and his words divine
GF
Doesn't take a genius to know what you've got going
C
To not want music 'cause they lost their minds
Pre-Chorus 2AmG
'Cause what about all these children
DC
And all their children's children
AmGDC
And why am I even wondering that today
AmG
Maybe my contribution
DC
Could be as small as hoping
AmGDC
That words could turn to birds and birds would send my thoughts your way
ChorusEmCD
I'd trade it all for a stairway to heaven (a stairway, stairway)
EmCD
I'd take my time for the climb up to the top of it (stairway)
EmCD
I'd trade the fame and the fortune and the legend (stairway)
AmCD
I'd give it all away if you give me just one day to ask him one question
AmCD
I'd give it all away if you give me just one day to ask him one question
