Intro Cmaj7 C Cmaj7 C
Verse 1
Cmaj7 C Cmaj7
To dream the impossible dream,
F Fmaj7 F
to fight the unbeatable foe,
Em Dm
to bear with unbearable sorrow,
Dm7 G7
to run where the brave dare not go.
C Cmaj7 C
To right the unrightable wrong,
F Fmaj7 F
to be better far than you are,
Em Dm
to try when your arms are too weary,
Dm7 G7
to reach the unreachable star!
Chorus
C Am
This is my quest, to follow that star,
Em
no matter how hopeless,
F
no matter how far;
Am Abmaj
And to fight for the right without question or pause;
C+ C C+ Am Bb
To be willing to march into hell for a heavenly cause!
Verse 2
Dm Bb
And I know, if I'll only be true,
E
to this glorious quest,
F Bdim
that my heart will lie peaceful and calm,
Fm
when I'm laid to my rest,
G7 C#
And the world will be better for this;
F#
That one man scorned and covered with scars,
Dbmaj7
still strove with his last ounce of
D#m C# G# C# G# C#
courage, to reach the unreachable star.
