[Intro]
G  Bm G  Bm
 
 
[Verse 1]
   G                    Bm
To dream the impossible dream
   C                    Am
To fight the unbeatable foe
   Bm                  C
To bear with unbearable sorrow
G/B       Am                           Dsus4  D
   And to run where the brave dare not go
   G                     Bm
To right the unrightable wrong
       C                    Am
And to love pure and chaste from afar
   Bm                         C
To try when your arms are too weary
G/B   Am                    Dsus4  D
   To reach the unreachable star
 
 
[Chorus]
           G
This is my quest
               Em
To follow that star
              Bm
No matter how hopeless
              C
No matter how far
                 Em
To fight for the right
                    Eb
Without question or pause
                 G                 Em
To be willing to march, march into Hell
                  F
For that heavenly cause
 
 
[Bridge]
      Am                   F
And I know if I'll only be truе
                 Bm
To this glorious quest
        C                           F7
That my heart will lie pеaceful and calm
                    Bm
When I'm laid to my rest
 
 
[Verse 2]
        G                        Bm
And the world will be better for this
         C                             D/F#
That one man, scorned and covered with scars
      Bm                            C
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
   G    B7               C                                  G
To reach  the unreachable, the unreachable, the unreachable star
 
 
[Interlude]
G  Bm C Am 
Bm  C
 
 
[Chorus]
             G                    B7
And I always dream the impossible dream
               Em        C          N.C.
Yes, when I'll reach the unreachable    star
