Impossible Dream   From Man of La Mancha

Gomer Pyle

[LISTEN]

INTRO

To  [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.
 
To [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.
 
This 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]

And 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
   to [F] reach the un-[C]-reachable [F] star.
