D MajorD G+G D MajorD G+G
To dream... the impossible dream...
C majorC G+G C majorC A minorAm
To fight... the unbeatable foe...
B minorBm C majorC
To bear with unbearable sorrow...
A minorAm D MajorD
and to run... where the brave dare not go...
G+G D MajorD G+G
To right... the unrightable wrong...
C majorC G+G A minorAm
and to love... pure and chaste from afar...
B minorBm C majorC
To try... when your arms are too weary...
A minorAm D MajorD
and to reach... the unreachable star...
G+G E minorEm
This is my quest, to follow that star...
B minorBm C majorC
No matter how hopeless, no matter how far...
E minorEm C majorC
To fight for the right, without question or pause
G+G E minorEm C majorC FF
To be willing to march into Hell, for a Heavenly cause...
A minorAm FF B minorBm
and I know if I'll only be true, to this glorious quest,
C majorC A minorAm
that my heart will lie peaceful and calm,
BB D MajorD D7D7
when I'm laid to my rest______
G+G D MajorD B minorBm
__And the__ world will be better for this:
C majorC G+G A minorAm
That one man, scorned and covered with scars,
B minorBm C majorC
still strove, with his last ounce of courage...
G+G D MajorD E minorEm D MajorD
__To reach__... the unreachable star...
G+G D MajorD G+G
To reach... the unreachable star...
