Stairway is an awesome song with an awesome solo.. i took a while to tab just because its so long and i didnt want to make a mistake.. if you have any questions about the tab or corrections, just emaill me at tempy99@hotamil.com. I would appriciate any feedback you have, but if you do have feedback, please email me rather then adding me to your MSN as a lot of people have done. My list is almost full, I hope you understand. It has also come to my attention that some people have been copying my tab and posting it elsewhere. I have NO PROBLEM with this, its great to spread the song, but please, at least give me the origional credit. Cheers and good luck.

The two guitars continue into this section. Walloping (a technical term
meaning hit very hard &) the strings using the full barre sounds pretty
good. The lead basically follows the bass. You can do both (like you
can tweak the slide riff with one guitar)
I think i can probably tabascii the bass now, ive listened to it enough.
But ive had it for this song!! unless someone really needs it please dont
ask just yet.. Ive gotten transfixed by a few other zepplin tracks
that were on the album, their slower more melodic stuff like no quarter
down by the seaside etc..

And shes buying a stairway to heaven
P.S. This is a little thanks to all the "experts" that diss the tab, I'm just trying to spread the music, so you should all just chill out and take it for what it is. Just a tab.
