G Jacob was a dirt poor farm boy C raised at the fork in the road, in a clapboard house and Rachel was a land baron's daughter born with a silver spoon in her mouth. Her daddy said he wouldn't stand C for Rachel to waste her life with a common man A 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 Jacob climbed a ladder up to Rachel's room G He knew his place, it was right beside her C step by step, up to her world head over heels for his brown eyed girl G and gettin' caught didn't seem to matter A- D G 'cause heaven was waitin' at the top of Jacob's ladder. (Key change to A) A It'll be five years september since her daddy found a ladder D and a note on her window sill He swore he'd never forgive them A but nothin' melts a heart like a grandchild will Now she climbs up on his knee D says 'Grampa tell the story; the one about me' B- He thinks back and his eyes shine D E says listen child, once upon a time... D Late one night by the harvest moon your daddy climbed a ladder to your momma's room A He knew his place, it was right beside her D Step by step, up to her world head over heals for my little girl A and here you are, that's all that matters B- E 'cause heaven was waitin' at the top of Jacob's ladder A E/G# F# E B- E A Oh, and an angel was waitin' at the top of Jacob's Ladder
