Capo 1


G                                C
I've chased after rainbows. I've captured one or two
G                                C
I've reached for the stars, I've even held a few
     G                                       Am
I've walked that lonesome valley, topped the mountains, saw the sky
     G                                   C 
I've laughed and I have cried but I have always tried

I've always been a dreamer and dreamed of special things
But dreams are of no value if they're not equipped with wings
So secure yourself for climbing, make ready for the flight
Don't let your chance go by, you'll make it if you try


Chorus:
   G                              C 
So try to be the first one up the mountain
    G                                C 
And try to be the first to touch the sky
    C                             G
And try to be the one who makes a difference
Em              D               C  
Try to put your fear and doubt aside
    G                             C
And try to make the most of every moment
       G                          C
'Cause if you never try you never win
   C               Am           G
So try each day to try a little harder
    F                C           G  
And if you fall, get up and try again


(Try and try and try)
(Try and try and try)


Nothing is impossible if you can just believe
Don't live your life in shackles when faith can be the key
The winner's one who keeps determination in his eyes
Who's not afraid to fly and not afraid to try

Chorus 2:
So try to be the first one up the mountain
And try to be the first to touch the sky
And try to count your blessings and keep counting
And try to soar where only eagles fly
And if you fail at first just keep on trying
For you are not a failure in God's eyes
The first step is the one that's always hardest
But you won't amount to much if you don't try

   C                     Am            G 
So spread your wings and let the magic happen
             F            C                 G
Cause you'll never really know if you don't try

(Try and try and try) You gotta try (Try and try and try)
Come give it a try (Try and try and try) You have to try (Try)

     G                                    C  
Oh I know it ain't easy, who ever said it was? Life is hard Same as it ever was (Try)
G           C
You have to try (You have to try)
         G                                                     C                                               G         
When you think you can't do it, just try a little harder, just dig a little deeper and go a little farther but try (Try)
            C
You have to try (Try)
    G                                                C                                           G 
Whatever it is, you're gonna get through it, let the spirit lead you, I know you can do it, just try (Try)
               C 
Just give it a try
        G                                             C                                                G
And whenever you think you ain't gonna make it, put a smile on your face, suck it up and fake it for a while (Give it a try)
                         C
At least you'll know you tried (Give it a try)
      G                                                   C                                            G  
Don't think I don't suffer, I know what I'm saying when I get to that place when I start praying and I try
             C          G 
Lord knows I try, Yes I try
