If I Can Dream Chords & Lyrics - Elvis Presley

intro: C Am 4x

There must be l[C]ights burning b[Am]righter s[F] , [G]omewhere
Got to be [C]birds flying [Am]higher in a [F]sky more [G]blue
If I can d[C]ream of a [C7]better land
Where a[F]ll my brothers walk h[F7]and in hand
Tell me w[C]hy, oh [Am]why, oh w[F]hy, can't my d[Em]ream come tr[Dmi] , [G]ue?

There must be peace and understanding sometime,
Strong winds of promise that will blow away the doubt and fear,
If I can dream of a warmer sun,
Where hope keeps shining everyone

c am f em dm c c7

Tell me why, oh why, oh why won't that sun ap--pear?

f f7 c c7

We're lost in a cloud with too much rain,
[F]We're trapped in a [f7]world [C]that's troubled with [C7]pain,
[F]But as long as a [F7]man has the s[C]trength to d[Am]ream
He can red[F]eem his soul and f[G]ly, (he can f[A]ly)

Deep in my h[D]eart there's a t[Bm]remblin q[G] , [A]uestion,
Still I am s[D]ure that the a[Bm]nswer, answer's going to [G]come some[A]how,
Out there in the d[D]ark t[D7]here's a beckoning c[G]andle, o ye[As7]ah,
And while I can th[D]ink, while I can t[Bm]alk,
While I can st[D]and, while I can w[Bm]alk,
While I can d[G]ream
Oh please let my d[Em]ream
Come t[A]rue
Right n[D]ow, [Bm]let it come true n[D] , [Bmi]ow!
O y[D] , [G] , [D]eah!
