Recorded by Glenn Miller, 1939 (#1)
[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.
