Intro
[Dm] [Fdim]
There's a silver trail of moonlight
[Em7] [A9]
Leading upward to the sky,
[Dm] [Fdim] [E7]
And the night is like a velvet lullaby.
[E9]
There's a heaven of blue,
[Bb7] [A7sus4] [A7] [A7+5]
And we'll go there, just you and I.
[Melody]
[D] [A7] [Am7] [G#7] [Gm7]
Let's build a stairway to the stars,
[Gdim] [Bm]
And climb that stairway to the stars
[E9] [Em7] [A7+5] [C7] [B7] [G#7] [G7]
With love beside us to fill the night with a song.
[D] [A7+5] [Am7] [G#7] [GM7]
We'll hear the sound of violins,
[Gdim] [Bm]
Out yonder where the blue begins;
[E9] [Em7] [A7+5] [D6] [Fdim] [C#7]
The moon will guide us as we go driving along.
Bridge
[F#m] [B9] [Bm]
Can't we sail away on a lazy daisy petal
[F#m] [B9]
Over the rim of the hill?
[Em] [A9] [Am]
Can't we sail away on a little dream
[Em7] [F#] [Bb7] [A7] [A7+5] [D]
And settle high on the crest of a thrill?
[A7+5] [Am7] [G#7] [GM7]
Let's build a stairway to the stars,
[Gdim] [C7] [Bm]
A lovely stairway to the stars;
[E9] [Dm7] [G7+5] [D6] [B9] [A7] [A7+5] [D6/9]
It would be heaven to climb to heaven with you.
