              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...
