     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.

               D             Bm             Em7             A7
    Still I Am Sure That The Answer's Gonna Come Somehow.

    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
