(Intro:) 
 
          Dm             Fdim 
There's a silver trail of moonlight 
 
        Em7           A9 
Leading upward to the sky, 
 
        Dm             Fdim         E7/5- 
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    A7/5+     Am7                  G#7 Gmaj7 
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 Gmaj7 
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 Gmaj7 
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.
