I have
G
of
A
ten
D
dreamed,
of a
G
far
A
off
D
place.
Where a
G
her
A
o’s
Bm7
welcome,
would be
Gmaj7
waiting for
Asus
me.
A
Where the
G
crowds
A
will
D
cheer,
when they
G
see
A
my
Bm
face,
and a
G
voice
F#
keeps
Bm
saying,
“
D/A
This is
G
where I’m meant to
Asus
be.”
A
I’ll be
D9/F#
there
some
Em/G
day,
D/A
I can go the
A
distance.
A/G
I will
D9/F#
find my way,
Em/G
D/A
if I can be
A
strong.
A/G
I know
D9/F#
every
G
mile,
will be
Bm7
worth my
Em7
while.
When I
G
go
A
the
D
dist
A/C#
ance,
Bm
I’ll
D/A
be
Gmaj7
right where
G/A
I
be
D
long.
A/D
G/D
D
A/D
G/D
Down an
G
un
A
known
D
road,
to em
G
brace
A
my
D
fate.
Though that
G
road
A
may
Bm7
wander,
it will
Gmaj7
lead me to
Asus
you.
A
And a
G
thou
A
sand
D
years,
would be
G
worth
A
the
Bm
wait.
It might
G
take
F#
a
Bm
lifetime,
D/A
but
some
G
how I’ll see it
Asus
through.
A
And I
D9/F#
won’t look
Em/G
back,
D/A
I can go the
A
distance.
A/G
And I’ll
D9/F#
stay on
Em/G
track,
no I
D/A
won’t accept de
A
feat.
A/G
It’s an
D9/F#
uphill
G
slope,
but I
Bm7
won’t lose
Em7
hope.
Till I
G
go
A
the
D
dis
A/C#
tance,
Bm
and
D/A
my
Gmaj7
journey
Asus
is
A
com
D
plete.
A/D

A/D
G/D
But to
F
look beyond the
Bb/D
glory is the
C/E
hardest
A/C#
part
For a
Dadd2
hero’s strength is
G
measured by his
F#/A#
heart

Like a
D9/F#
shooting star,
Em/G
D/A
I will go the
A
distance.
G
I will
D9/F#
search the
Em/G
world,
D/A
I will face its
A
harms.
G
D9/F#
I don’t care how
E/G#
far,
F#/A#
I can go the
Bm
distance.
Till I
G
