To (Bb)dream the im pos si ble dream,

to (Eb)fight the un beat a ble foe,

To (Dm)bear when with un bear a ble (Eb)sor row,

to (Cm)run where the brave dare not (F)go.

To (Bb)right the un right a ble wrong,

to (Eb)love pure and chaste from a far,

To (Dm)try when your arms are too wea (Eb)ry, row,

to (Cm)run where the brave dare not (F)go.

To (Cm)reach the un reach a ble (F)star!

(F7)This is my (Bb)quest,

to fol low that (Gm)star,

No mat ter how (Dm)hope less, no mat ter how (Cm)far;

To fight for the (Gm)right with out ques tion or (Gb7)pause, To be will ing to (Bb)march in to (Bbaug)hell for a (Gm)heav en ly (Ab)cause!

And I (Cm)know, if I’ll on ly be (Ab)true To this glo ri ous (D)quest,

that my (Cm)heart will lie peace ful and (Am7)calm, When I’m laid to my (Ebm)rest,

And the (Bb)world will be bet ter for this;

That one (Eb)man, scorned and cov ered with scars,

Still (Dm)strove with his last ounce of (Eb)cour age,

To (Bb)reach (CN.C.)the un reach a ble (Bb)stars.
