  			Intro: 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,  
     A#7              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#      A#7       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
