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 
Bm7/5-        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 
       A7/13-      A         A7/13-     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        Bm7/5- E7  
hen 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 Bm7/5-   A  
To reach   the unreachable    star
