Intro - G C G D (x2)

G                    
Jacob was a dirt poor farm boy
G                                            C         
Raised at the fork in the road in a clapboard house
    C                      D
And Rachel was a land baron's daughter
C                                    G 
Born with a silver spoon in her mouth
    G                      
Her daddy said he wouldn't stand
    G                                    C
For Rachel to waste her life with a common man
Am       
He tried hard to keep them apart
        C                                 D 
But you can't draw lines in a young girl's heart

    C   
So late one night by the harvest moon
C
Jacob climed a ladder up to Rachel's room
   G                                    G
He knew his place, it was right beside her
C
Step by step up to her world
C
Head over heels for that brown-eyed girl
    G                               G
And gettin' caught didn't seem to matter
       C                         D
'Cause heaven was waitin' at the top of Jacob's ladder

Repeat Intro


A
It'll be five years September
          A                                            D
Since her daddy found a ladder and a note on her window sill
   D                 E
He swore he'd never forgive them
    D                                      A
But nothin' melts a heart like a grandchild will
        A     
Now she climbs up on his knee
       A                                        D
Says, "Grandpa, tell a story, tell the one about me"
Bm
He thinks back and his eyes shine
       D                             E
Says, "Listen Child, once upon a time"



D   
Late one night by the harvest moon
     D
Your Daddy climed a ladder up to your Momma's room
   A                                    A
He knew his place, it was right beside her
D
Step by step up to her world
D
Head over heels for a brown-eyed girl
    A                                     A
But you're here now and that's all that matters
       D                         E              (Play E, but walk down bass note E D C# B)
'Cause heaven was waitin' at the top of Jacob's ladder

       Bm                        A
Oh, an angel was waitin' at the top of Jacob's ladder

End on D

on the 3rd line of the verse, I believe it should go to D, not stay in C - am going off memory but I'm pretty sure that's true
