Verse 1:
      G                       D
There once was an old man who loved power and glory
    C                   G             D
But in his long life he just had never won
   G                      C
So he had a dream, let us call it obsession
   Em                      Am             D
To stand in the middle, be admired by everyone

Verse 2:
   G                       D
He saw his one chance when rumors were spreading
  C                     G                D
A dragon arrived in the outskirts of the town
   G                         C
He thought if someone would challenge the beast
         Em                      Am                 D
He would live forever even if he died by hunting it down

Refrain:
G           C                 G           C    D   G
He wants to fight the dragon, he wants to kill the beast
G           C                 G           C    D   G
He wants to fight the dragon, he wants to kill the beast

Verse 3:
    G                          D
And drawing his longsword with it's edges blazing
   C                   G                 D
He rode to the lair to shed thick dragon blood
   G                        C
He daydreamed that he would return home as a hero
        Em                           Am              D
But his horse stumbled and he landed headlong in the mud

Refrain:
G           C                 G           C    D   G
He wants to fight the dragon, he wants to kill the beast
G           C                 G           C    D   G
He wants to fight the dragon, he wants to kill the beast

Verse 4:
      G                     D
As he lay there sobbing the dragon came along
            C                           G               D
And saw the poor old man, oh, there had something to be done
   G                      C
He invited the man to his cave where they drank tea
    Em                                  Am                  D
And they became the best friends in the world of dragon and man

Refrain:
G           C                 G           C    D   G
He wants to fight the dragon, he wants to kill the beast
G           C                 G           C    D   G
He wants to fight the dragon, he wants to kill the beast
