Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin
One of the best known rock songs of all time, "Stairway to Heaven" was never

the song is said to have backward Satanic messages, the band members deny
this and say the song is actually about a woman who realizes her money will
not help her get into heaven and that her life has no true meaning. Get a

sheet music, but be warned, the guitar solo is tough! |
