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
