[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!

[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

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]
