INTRO\r\n\r\nTo  [F] dream the impossible [Am] dream.  To [A#] fight the unbeatable foe.   To [Am] bear with unbearable [A#] sorrow.   To [Gm] run where the brave dare not [C] go.\r\n \r\nTo [F] right the unrightable [Am] wrong.   To [A#] love... pure and chaste from afar.   To [Am] try when your arms are too [A#] weary,  To [Gm] reach the unreachable [C] star.\r\n \r\nThis is my [F] quest, to follow that [Dm] star.   No matter how [Am] hopeless, no matter how [A#] far.   To  fight for the [Dm] right, without question or [A#] pause.   To be willing to [F] march into [Dm] Hell, for a [A#] Heavenly [D#] cause,    and I [Gm] know if I'll only be true, to this glorious [Am] quest,that my [A#] heart will lie peaceful and [Gm] calm, when I'm laid to my [A] rest [C7]\r\n\r\nAnd the [F] world will be better for [Am] this.   That one [A#] man, scorned and covered with [Gm] scars,   still [Am] strove, with his last ounce of [A#] courage\r\n   to [F] reach the un-[C]-reachable [F] star.\r\n-\r\nFULL VERSION FOLLOWS - NORMALLY STOP HERE WITH THESE CHORDS<\/span>\r\n-\r\n<\/span>To [Gm] reach the unreachable star [C] \r\n\r\nMOD - - - - - - <\/span>[D] To [G] dream the im-[D]-possible [G] dream.\r\nTo [C] fight the un-[G]-beatable [C] foe.
