Impossible Dream - Andy Williams

composed by Mitch Leigh, lyrics by Joe Darion from 1965 musical Man of La Mancha D G D G To dream... the impossible dream... C G C Am To fight... the unbeatable foe... Bm C To bear with unbearable sorrow... Am D and to run... where the brave dare not go... G D G To right... the unrightable wrong... C G Am and to love... pure and chaste from afar... Bm C To try... when your arms are too weary... Am D and to reach... the unreachable star... G Em This is my quest, to follow that star... Bm C No matter how hopeless, no matter how far... Em C To fight for the right, without question or pause G Em C F To be willing to march into Hell, for a Heavenly cause... Am F Bm and I know if I'll only be true, to this glorious quest, C Am that my heart will lie peaceful and calm, B D D7 when I'm laid to my rest______

G D Bm __And the__ world will be better for this: C G Am That one man, scorned and covered with scars, Bm C still strove, with his last ounce of courage... G D Em D __To reach__... the unreachable star... G D G To reach... the unreachable star... Dedicated to the sailors of Taffy 3 in the Battle off Samar, crew of PT-109, soldiers of the Battle of Wanat and all the other members of the military who prevailed or not in the face of impossible odds. Look them up.
