ROCK AND ROLL
Jimmy Page / Robert Plant / John Paul Jones / John Bonham

It's been a long time since I rock an' rolled.
It's been a long time since I did the stroll.
Ooh, let me get it back, let me get it back, let me get it back,
Mm-baby where I come from.


It's been a long time, been a long time, been a long
Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time. Yes it has.

It's been a long time since the book of love.
I can't count the tears of a life with no love.
A-carry me back, carry me back, carry me back,
Mm-baby where I come from. Whoah~ooh~oh ~whoah~ooh~ooh~hohh.


It's been a long time, been a long time, been a long
Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time.

Hohhh, it seems so long since we walked in the moonlight,
A-makin' vows that just couldn't work right.
Hahh-yeah! Open your arms, open your arms, open your arms,
Mm-baby let my love come runnin' in. Let it!


It's been a long time, been a long time, been a long
Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time.

THE BATTLE OF EVERMORE
Jimmy Page / Robert Plant

The Queen of Light took her bow
And then she turned to go,
The Prince of Peace embraced the gloom
And walked the night alo__ne.
Oooh dance in the dark of ni__ght,
Sing to the mor__ning light.
The Dark Lord rides in force tonight
And time will tell us a__ll.
Ohhh throw down your plow and hoe,
Rest not to lock your homes.
As side by side we wait the might
Of the darkest of them all__. � Ohhh__.

I hear the horses thunder
Down in the valley below.
I'm waitin' for the angels of Avalon,
Waitin' for the eastern glow.

The apples of the valley ho__ld,
The seeds of happiness.
The ground is rich from tender care,
Repay, do not forget.
Ohhh � No, no! � dance in the dark of night,
Sing to the morning light.
The apples turn to brown and black,
The tyrant's face is re__d.
Oooh � Hohh now! � war is the common cry,
Pick up your swords and fly.
The sky is filled with good and bad
That mortals never kno__w. � Ohhh__. � No__w.

Oh well, the night is long,
The beads of time pass slow.
Tired eyes on the sunrise,
Waitin' for the eastern glow.

The pain of war cannot exceed
The woe of aftermath.
The drums will shake the castle wall,
The ring wraiths ride in black. Ride on.
Ohhh Sing as you raise your bow, � Ride on.
Shoot straighter than befo__re__
No comfort has the fire that night
That lights the face so cold.
__ohhh dance in the dark of night,
Sing to the morning li__ght.
The magic runes are writ in gold
To bring the balance back. Bring it back.

At last the sun is shinin',
The clouds of blue roll by.
A-with flames from the dragon of darkness,
The sunlight blinds his eye__s. � eye__s.

Ah-ah-oh. � Oooh-ooh~ooh.
Ahhh___. � Oooh__.

Bring it back. �  Bring it back.
A-bring it back. Bring it back.
Bring it back. �  Bring it back.
Bring it back. �  Bring it back.

Oh now, oh now, oh now ahh.
Oh now, oh now, oh now.
Bring it back. Bring it back.
Bring it back. A-bring it back.

Whoah now, oh now, oh now ohh.
Whoah now, oh now, oh now.
Bring it, bring it, bring it, bring it,
� � � � � � � �  bring it, bring it, bring it,
� � � � � � � �  bring it, bring it, bring it,
� � � � � � � �  bring it, bring~ahhh__.



STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN
Jimmy Page / Robert Plant

There's a lady who's sure
All that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven.
When she gets there she knows
If the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for.


Ooh~ooh~ooh Ooh~ooh~ooh~ooh~ooh.
And she's buying a stairway to heaven.

There's a sign on the wall
But she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.
In a tree by the brook
There's a songbird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.


Oooh it makes me wonder.
Oooh it makes me wonde__r.

There's a feelin' I get
When I look to the west
And my spirit is crying for leaving.
In my thoughts I have seen
Rings of smoke through the trees
And the voices of those who stand looking.


Oooh it makes me wonder.
Oooh it really makes me wonder.

And it's whispered that soon
If we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason.
And a new day will dawn
For those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter.


Oh~ooh whoah~ooh whoah~ooh whoah~ooh
Whoah~hooh~oh~ohh.

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow
Don't be alarmed now
It's just a spring clean for the May queen.
Yes, there are two paths you can go by,
But in the long run
An' there's still time to change the road you're on.


And it makes me wonder.
Ahhh~ah-oh~hoh.

Your head is hummin' and it won't go
In case you don't know,
The piper's callin' you to join him,
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow
And did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wi__~hahh~ah-ohh?

And as we wind on down the road
Our shadow's taller than our soul.
There walks a lady we all kno__w
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last.
When all are one and one is all-yeah
To be a rock and not to ro__ll.

And she's buying a stairway to heaven.



MISTY MOUNTAIN HOP
Jimmy Page / Robert Plant / John Paul Jones

Walkin' in the park just the other day baby,
What da ya, what da ya think I saw?
Crowds of people sittin' on the grass with flowers in their hair said
"Hey boy, do you wanna score?"


An' ya know how it is.
I really don't know what time it was,
Hoh-hoh-hoah.
So I asked 'em if I could stay a while.

I didn't notice but it had got very dark and I was really,
Really out of my mind.
Just then a policeman stepped up to me asked us, said
� � "Please, hey would we care
To all get in line, get in line."


Well ya know
They asked us to stay for tea and have some fun,
Hoh-hoh-hoah.
He said that his friends would all drop by.
Ooh~ooh~ooh~ooh.

Why don't you take a good look at yourself and describe what you see
And baby, baby, baby, do ya like it?
There you sit, sittin' square like a book on a shelf rustin',
Ahhh not tryin' to fight it.


� � I really don't know.

You really don't care if they're comin',
Hoh-hoh-hoah.
I know that it's only a state of mind. Oh, oh, oh.
Ooh~ooh~ooh~ooh.

If you go down in the streets today baby, you'd better,
You'd better open your eyes. Whoah~ooh~oh yeah.
Folk down there really don't care, really don't care, don't care, really don't
Which, which way the pressure li__es.


So I've decided what I'm gonna do now.
So I'm packin' my bags for the Misty Mountains
Where the spirits go now.
Whoa~ver the hills where the spirits fl__y.

� � I really don't...

� � I really don't know.


Ooh~ooh~ooh~ooh.
� � I really don't know.

Ooh~ooh~ooh~ooh hooh~ooh~ooh.
� � I really don't know.


Ooh~ooh~ooh~ooh.
� � I really don't.

Ooh~ooh~ooh~ooh hooh~ooh~ooh.
� � I really don't.


Ooh~ooh~ooh~ooh.
Ooh~ooh~ooh~ooh hooh~ooh~ooh.
� � I really don't know.


I really don't know~oh oh~oh oh~oh oh~oh oh~oh oh~oh oh~oh.
� � I really don't know.

I really don't know ah~ah ah~ah ah~ah ah~ah ah~ah ah~ah ah~ah.
I really don't know.




FOUR STICKS
Jimmy Page / Robert Plant

Oh~ooh baby, it's cryin' time,
Oh~ooh baby, I've got to fly.
Got-ta try to find a way,
Got-ta try to get away,
'Cause you know I gotta get away from you babe.

Oh~ooh baby, the river's red,
Ahhh baby, in my head.
There's a funny feelin' goin' on.
I don't think I can hold out long.


An' when the owls cry in the night.
Oh baby, baby when the pines begin to cry.
Baby, baby, baby how do ya feel?
If the rivers run dry baby, how would you feel?

Craze baby, mm-the rainbow's end.
Hmmm baby, it's just a den for those who hide,
Who hide their loves to depths of lies
An' ruin dreams that we all knew so babe.


An' when the owls cry in the night.
And baby when the pines begin to cry.
Oh baby, baby how do ya feel?
If the rivers run dry baby, how will you feel?

Ahh~ah ahh~ah~ahh~ah~ay.
Ahhh-ahhh-ahhh__.
Babe how do you feel-ah.

Ooh~ooh yeah brave I endure
Ooh yeah strong shields and lo__re.
They can't hold the wrath of those who walk
An' the boots of those who march
Baby through the roads of time so long ago.

Ooh~ooh~oooh-yeah.
Ooh~ooh~ooh~ooh.
Ooh~ooh-ooh~ooh~ooh-yeah.

Ahhh__.
Ahhh__.
Ahhh__.
Ahhh__.

Ooh~ooh. Hooh~ooh.
Hooh~ooh. Hooh~ooh.
Hahhh__.
Hooh hooh hooh hah hahhh.



GOING TO CALIFORNIA
Jimmy Page / Robert Plant

< Drawback... >
< Exhale. >

Spend my days with a woman unkind,
Smoked my stuff an' drank all my wine.
Made up my mind, make a new start,
Goin'a California with an achin' in my heart.
Someone told me there's a girl out there
With love in her eyes and flowers in her hair.

Took my chances on a big jet plane,
Never let 'em tell ya that they all are the same.
Hohh the sea was red and the sky was grey,
I wondered how tomorrow could ever follow toda__y.
Th' mountains an' the canyons start to tremble an' shake,
The children of the sun begin to awake. Watch out.

It seems that the wrath of the Gods got a punch on the nose
And it's startin' to flow, I think I might be sinkin'.
Throw me a line, if I reach it in time,
I'll meet you up there where the path runs straight and high.

To find a Queen without a King,
They say she plays guitar and cries and sings. La la la la.
Ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn,
Tryin'a find a woman who's never, never, never been born.
Standin' on a hill in the mountain of dreams,
Tellin' myself it's not as hard, hard, hard as it seems.
� � Mmm-ahh~ahh.

Ahh~ah~ahh-ah~ahh.
Ahh~ah~ahh-ah~ahh.
Ahh~ah~ahh-ah~ahh.
Ahh~ah~ahh.



WHEN THE LEVEE BREAKS
Jimmy Page / Robert Plant / John Paul Jones / John Bonham / Memphis Minnie

If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin'a break,
If it keeps on rainin', levee's going to break
An' when the levee breaks have no place to stay.

Mean old levee taught me to weep an' moan boy,
Mean old levee taught me to weep an' moan.
It's got what it takes to make a mountain man leave his
� � home-ah~oh well, ah~oh well, ah~oh well-ah ooh-ooh.

Oh don't it make ya feel bad when you're tryin'a find your way home?
You don't know which way to go.
If you're goin' down South they got no work to do,
If you're goin' on to Chi-cago.
Ahhh~eah, ahhh~eah, ahhh~eah hey hey.

Cryin' won't help ya, prayin' won't do ya no good, no,
A-cryin' won't help ya, prayin' won't do you no good
An' when the levee breaks, mama you got to move ah~ooh-hooh.

All last night I sat on the levee an' moaned-ahh,
All last night sat on the levee an' moaned
A-thinkin' 'bout my baby and my happy home ahh-hah.

Ohh-oh-oh, ohh-oh-oh, ohh-oh-oh, hahhh.
Ahh-ah-ah, ahh-ah-ah, ahh-ah-ah, ahhh.
Hey! Oh!

I'm goin',
I'm goin' to Chicago.
I'm goin' to Chicago.
Sorry but I can't take you~ahhh.
Goin' down, I'm goin' down now.
Goin' down, I'm goin' down now.
I'm goin' down, I'm goin' down,
I'm goin' down, I'm goin' do__wn.

Ahhh~oooh~ohh.
I'm goin' down, I'm goin' down now.
I'm goin' down, I'm goin' down now.
I'm goin' down, I'm goin' down now.
I'm goin' down, I'm goin' down-down-down-down-down
� � ~oooh~ooh~ooh~ooh ooh~ooh~ooh.
