If I Can Dream

(Eb)There must be (Bb)lights and burnin' (Gm)brighter

(Eb)somewhere, got to be (Bb)birds (Dm)ise flyin' (Gm)higher (Dm)in a (Eb6)sky more (F7)blue.

If I can (Bb)dream of a (Bb7)better land where (Eb)all my brothers work (D7)hand er in (Gm)hand,

tell (Gdim7)me (Bb)why,

oh, (Gm)why, oh, (Eb)why (Cm7)can't my (Dm)dream (Gm)come (Cm7)true?

(F7)Oh, (Eb)why?

(F7)There must be (Bb)peace and (Gm)understanding (Eb)sometime,

strong winds of (Bb)(Dm)promise that will (Gm)blow (Dm)away the (Eb6)doubt and (F7)fear.

If I can (Bb)dream of a (Bb7)warmer sun where (Eb)hope keeps shinin' on (D7)(Gm)everyone,

tell (Gdim7)me (Bb)why,

oh, (Gm)why, oh, (Eb)why (Cm7)can't my (Dm)dream (Gm)come (Cm7)true?

(F7)Oh, (Eb)why?

(F7)There must be (Eb)why (Cm7)won't that (Bb)sun (Eb)(Bb)appear?

(Eb)We're lost in a (Edim7)cloud

(Bb)with too much (Bb7)rain.

(Eb)We're trapped in a (Edim7)world

(Bb)that's troubled with (Bb7)pain.

(Eb)But as long as a (Edim7)man has the (Bb)strength (D7)to (Gm)dream,

he can (C9)redeem his soul

and (Cm7)fly.

(F7)He can (G)fly.

(G7)Deep in my (C)heart there's a (Am)tremblin'

(F6)question. (G7)Still I am (C)sure (Em)that the (Am)answer's (Em)gonna (Dm)come (G7)somehow.

Out (F)there in the (C)dark, (C7)there's a beckoning (F7)candle.

(F#dim7)And while I can (C)think,

while I can (Am)talk, while I can (C)stand,

while I can (Am)walk, while I can (Fmaj7)dream,

please let my (Dm7)dream

come true

(G7)right (C)now.
