A9   A        A9        A6    A 
To dream   the impossible dream  
    D9    D        D9      D 
To fight    the unbeatable foe 
    C#m        C#m7      D6 
To bear with unbearable sorrow  
    Bm           Bm7/E          E7 
To run where the brave dare not go 
   A9      A       A9         A6   A 
To right    the unrightable wrong 
   D9   D                       D9      D 
To love   pure and chaste from afar 
   C#m           C#m7          D6 
To try when your arms are too weary 
    Bm         Bm7/E      E7 
To reach the unreachable star 
Bm5-/7       A                   F#m 
This is my quest, to follow that star 
              C#m                      D6 
No matter how hopeless, no matter how far 
                 F#m                          F 
To Fight for the right, without question or pause 
       A5+         A         A5+        F#m        G 
To be willing to march into hell for a heavenly cause 
        Bm                  G                      C# 
And I know, if I'll only be true to this glorious quest 
        D6                           B7 
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm 
          Dm        Bm5-/7  E7 
When I'm laid to my rest 
          A9   A        A9         A 
And the world will be better for this 
         D9  D               D9           D 
That one man, scorned and covered with scars  
       C#m             C#m7          D6 
Still strove with his last ounce of courage 
    A   F#m        D  D9  Bm5-/7   A 
To reach   the unreachable        star
