Capo: 1st fret
[Intro]
C Am C Am
C Am C Am
[Verse 1]
C Am F Gsus4
There must be lights burning brighter somewhere
C Em Am Em F G
Got to be birds flying higher in a sky more blue
C C7
If I can dream of a better land
F E7 Am
Where all my brothers walk hand in hand
C/G Am
Tell me why, oh why?
F Dm7 C/E Am Dm7 G F G
Oh, why can’t my dreams come true? Oh, why?
[Verse 2]
C Am F Gsus4
There must be peace and understanding sometime
C Em Am Em F G
Strong wind of promise that will blow away the doubt and fear
C C7
If I can dream of a warmer sun
F E7 Am
Where hope keeps shining on everyone
C/G Am F Dm7 Em G C F C C7
Tеll me why, oh why, oh why won’t that sun appear
[Chorus]
F D7 C C7
We’rе lost in a cloud with too much rain
F D7 C C7
We’re trapped in a world that’s troubled with pain
F D7 C/G E7 Am
But as long as a man has the strength to dream
D7sus4 D7 F/G G
He can redeem his soul and fly, oh
[Verse 3]
D Bm G G/A
Deep in my heart, there’s a trembling question
D F#m Bm
Still, I am sure that the answer’s
F#m Em A
Answer’s gonna come somehow
Bm D7 G G#
Out there in the dark, there’s a beckoning candle, yeah
[Outro]
D/A Bm
And while I can think, while I can talk
D/A Bm
While I can stand, while I can walk
G
While I can dream, oh
Em G/A N.C. D Bm D Bm
Please let my dream come true, oh, right now
D G D
Oh, right now
