Introdução: Verse 

     Dm            Fdim 
There's a silver trail of moonlight 
    Em7        A9 
Leading upward to the sky 
    Dm           Fdim         E5-/7 
And the night is like a velvet lullaby 
    E9 
There's a heaven of blue, 
     Bb7              A4/7    A7  A7/13- 
And we'll go there, just you and I 
Melody 
 D    A7/13-     Am7            G#7  G7M 
Let's build a stairway to the stars 
        Gdim            Bm 
And climb that stairway to the stars 
       E9     Em7      A7/13-        C7   B7  G#7  G7 
With love beside us to fill the night with a song 
D   A7/13-      Am7        G#7  G7M 
We'll hear the sound of violins 
       Gdim           Bm 
Out yonder where the blue begins; 
       E9       Em7   A7/13-    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  A7/13- D 
And settle high on the crest of a thrill 
  A7/13-      Am7                G#7  G7M 
Let's build a stairway to the stars, 
         Gdim             C7   Bm 
A lovely stairway to the stars 
      E9     Dm7      G7/13-      D6  B9  A7  A7/13-  D6/9    
It would be heaven to climb to heaven with you
