Intro: [G] /// [C] [G] | [F] [G] [F] [G]

[C] I pictured a [G] rainbow [C] you[G] held it in your hands
[F] I had [G] flashes [F] but[G] you saw then plan
[C] I wandered out in the[G] world for years
[C] while[G] you just stayed in your[F] room
I saw the[G] crescent[F] [G] you saw the whole of the [C] moon!
[G] The whole of the [F] moon![G]

You were [C] there at the turnstiles with the [G] wind at your heels
You [C] stretched for the stars and you [G] know how it feels to reach
[F] too high,[G] too far,[F] too soon, [G] you saw the whole of the[C] moon!

I was [G] grounded [C] while[G] you filled the skies
[F]I was dumb[G]founded by truths[F] [G] you cut through lies
[C] I saw the rain-dirty [G] valley[C] [G] you saw Brigadoon
[F] I saw the [G] crescent[F] [G] you saw the whole of the[C] moon!

Interlude: [C] [G] [C] [G] | [F] [G] [F] [G]

[C] I spoke about [G] wings [Am] [Em7] you just flew
I [F] wondered, I guessed, and I [C] tried [Dm] [C] you just knew
I [C] sighed [G] [C] but[G] you swooned!
[F] I saw the[G] crescent[F] [G] you saw the whole of the[C] moon!
[G] The whole of the [F]moon![G]

With a [C] torch in your pocket and the [G] wind at your heels
You [C] climbed on the ladder and you [G] know how it feels to reach
[F] too high,[G] too far,[F] too soon, [G] you saw the whole of the[C] moon!
[G] The whole of the[F] moon!
Hey, [G] yeah!

[C] Unicorns and cannonballs, [G] palaces and piers,
[C] Trumpets, towers, and tenements, wide[G] oceans full of tears,
[F] Flag, rags, ferry boats, [G] scimitars and scarves,
[F] Every precious dream and vision [G] underneath the stars
Yes, you [C] climbed on the ladder with the [G] wind in your sails
You [C] came like a comet [G] blazing your trail
[F] Too high,[G] too far,[F] too soon,
[G] you saw the whole of the[C] moon![G]
