Title: Go the Distance (Hercules version)

Tuning: Standard

Key: A major and transitions to C major (No Capo)

**Note** This is not the original version, rather it is the edited version recorded for

Cartoon "Hercules", however, I added the original bridge into the version. Other tab and

lyric sites have the original verses and choruses that can be added if need be (just use the

chord progressions for verse/chorus). (The bridge is not in movie).

[Intro] (**See Intro Note at bottom of tab, for clarity and detail**)

D - E - A

F# - E - A

Verse

I have often dreamed, of a far off place

Where a great warm welcome will be waiting for me

Where the crowds will cheer, when they see my face

And a voice keeps saying this is where I'm meant to be

First Chorus

I will find my way, I can go the distance

I'll be there someday, if I can be strong

I know ev'ry mile, will be worth my while

I would go most anywhere to feel like I belong

**See Monologue Note 1**

Second Chorus

I am on my way, I will go the distance

I don't care how far, somehow I'll be strong

And a thousand years, would be worth the wait

It might take a lifetime, but somehow I'll see it through

**See "Monologue Note 2" at the bottom of Tab**

Bridge

But to look beyond the glory is the hardest part

For a hero's strength is measured by his heart

Last Chorus

I will beat the odds, I will go the distance

I will face the world, fearless, proud, and strong

I will please the gods, I can go the distance

'Til I find my hero's welcome right where I belong

(Optional Tag Chord progression **For Theater purposes, the time used during this could

movement or dramatization leading into a slower more dramatic ending):

F - G - C (x2)

F - E - Am

Dm - Gsus - G

[Tag] (Slower)

I will search the world, I will face its harms

'Til I find my hero's welcome, waiting in your arms
