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.

-Body-
There Must Be Lights Burning Brighter Some-where
Got To Be Birds Flying Higher In A Sky More Blue;
If I Can Dream Of A Better Land, Where All My Brothers Walk Hand In Hand,
Tell Me Why Oh Why Oh Why Can't My Dreams Come True? Oh Why?
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 On Everyone,
Tell Me Why - Oh Why - Oh Why Won't That Sun A-ppear?
We're Lost In A Cloud With Too Much Rain
We're Trapped In A World That's Troubled With Pain,
But As Long As A Man Has The Strength To Dream,
He Can Redeem His Soul, And Fly (He Can Fly)
Deep In My Heart There's A Trembling Question.
Still I Am Sure That The Answer's Gonna Come Somehow.
Out There In The Dark There's A Beckoning Candle Oh Yeah
And While I Can Think, While I Can Talk,
While I Can Stand, While I Can Walk,
While I Can Dream, - Please Let My Dream - Come True
Right NOW
