[Bm] [G] [C] [D] .
[G] [C] [D] .
[G] Jacob was a dirt poor farm boy, raised at the fork in the road in a [C] clapboard house.
Rachel was a land baron's [G] daughter, [C] born with a silver spoon in [G] her mouth.
.
Her daddy said he wouldn't stand, Rachel would waste her life with a [C] common man.
[Bm] [Am] He tried hard to keep them [G] apart, [C] but you can't draw lines in a young [D] girl's heart.
.
[C] So late one night by the hard spoon, Jacob climbed the ladder up to [G] Rachel's room.
He threw his plate, it was right inside her.
.
[C] Step by step up to her world, head over heels for a brown eyed girl.
[G] Getting caught, it didn't seem to matter.
.
[Am] Cause heaven [C] was waiting [D] at the top of [G] Jacob's [D] ladder.

[C] [D] [G] .
[C] [D] [E] [A] It'll be five years September, since her daddy found a ladder and a note on her [D] window sill.
.
Swore he'd never forgive them, nothing melts a heart [A] like a grandchild would.
Now she climbs up on his knee, says grandpa tell a story, the one [D] about me.
.
[Bm] He thinks back and his [C#m] eyes shine, [D] says this is a child, once upon [E] a time.
[C#m] [D] Late one night by the hard spoon, your daddy climbed the ladder to your [A] mom's room.
He knew his place, it was right beside her.
[D] Step by step up to her world, head over heels for my little girl.
[A] Here you are, that's all that matters.
[Bm] Cause heaven [D] was waiting [E] at the top of [A] Jacob's [E] ladder.
[F#m] Oh [Bm] an angel was waiting [E] at the top of [A] Jacob's [E] ladder.
