     If I Can Dream - Elvis Presley
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Ari Cohen
Email: guitaricohen@aol.com (feel free to email me for questions, but make 
					   the subject line say "Guitar Tab Questions", 
					   otherwise I'll delete it/won't read it)

Tuning: Standard (EADGBe)
sidenote-  1) The intro is the trumpet part at the beginning of the song tabbed 
out into a guitar part. I wrote it this
way so you can play the song without a band (just you and your guitar, which is 
the way I prefer playing it).
		2) Some of the chords might look incorrect in their placement 
regarding the lyrics, but they are correct.
		3) Listen to the song for strumming patterns.

                  C              Am       F          G7
    There Must Be Lights Burning Brighter Some-where
              C            Am          Dm       G7
    Got To Be Birds Flying Higher In A Sky More Blue;
             C          C7                 F                    E7      Am
    If I Can Dream Of A Better Land, Where All My Brothers Walk Hand In Hand,
            C      Am     F            C      Am   Dm7      G7
    Tell Me Why Oh Why Oh Why Can't My Dreams Come True? Oh Why?
                  C         Am            F           G7
    There Must Be Peace And Understanding Sometime,
                    C                 Am            Dm        G7
    Strong Winds Of Promise That Will Blow Away The Doubt And Fear,
             C          C7               F                     E7   Am
    If I Can Dream Of A Warmer Sun Where Hope Keeps Shining On Everyone,
            C        Am       F              Dm7   G7 C       F  C  C7
    Tell Me Why - Oh Why - Oh Why Won't That Sun   A-ppear?

F                   F#dim    C             C7
    We're Lost In A Cloud    With Too Much Rain
F                      F#dim    C                    C7
    We're Trapped In A World    That's Troubled With Pain,
F                    F#dim       C        E7 Am
    But As Long As A Man Has The Strength To Dream,
           D7                   G7          A
    He Can Redeem His Soul, And Fly (He Can Fly)

               D               Bm        G               A7
    Deep In My Heart There's A Trembling Question.
               D             Bm             Em7             A7
    Still I Am Sure That The Answer's Gonna Come Somehow.
                     D                        G         G#dim
    Out There In The Dark There's A Beckoning Candle Oh Yeah
                    D                  Bm
    And While I Can Think, While I Can Talk,
                D                  Bm
    While I Can Stand, While I Can Walk,
                G                   A7
    While I Can Dream, - Please Let My Dream - Come True
          D   Bm  D  Bm    D  Bm  G  D
    Right NOW
