My Heart Will Go On (Titanic Theme)

James Horner, composer for the hugely successful film "Titanic" (1997, directed by James Cameron) decided to use the instrumental motifs in the film to create a song for the ending of the movie. Cameron was said to be reluctant to the idea to begin with, although was eventually persuaded. The result was the remarkable Titanic theme song - "My Heart Will Go On" which went on to be the best selling single of 1998, and received many accolades, including a Golden Globe Award in the same year.

This song is originally in the key of F, with the first chord of the intro being Dm. There is also a key change in the final chorus to A major - first chord F#m - with the melody soaring to a top E, perfectly executed by Celine Dion. However, below you will find the Titanic song chords & words in C major, specifically designed with the beginner in mind.

My Heart Will Go On

(Theme to "Titanic", by J. Horner/W. Jennings (in C with no key change)

Intro

Verse 1

Every night in my dreams I see you, I feel you

That is how I know you go on

Far across the distance and spaces between us

You have come to show you go on

Chorus

Near, far, wherever you are

I believe that the heart does go on

Once more you open the door

And you`re here in my heart and my heart will go on and on

Verse 2

Love can touch us one time, and last for a life time

And never let go till we`re gone

Love was when I loved you one true time I hold to

In my life will always go on

(Chorus)

Chorus 3

You`re here there`s nothing I fear

And I know that my heart will go on

We`ll stay forever this way

You are safe in heart and my heart will go on and on
