Verse 1:

C             G/C
I pictured a rainbow

C    C/G
you held in your hands

F      G/F
I had flashes

F   G/F
but you saw then plan

C                     G/C 
I wondered out in the world for years

C     G/C                      F
while you just stayed in your room

               G/F  F  
I saw the crescent

you saw the whole of the moon!

G/C              F    C/E
The whole of the moon!


Verse 2:

         C
You were there at the turnstiles

         G/C
with the wind at your heels

    C
You stretched for the stars

        G/C
and you know how it feels to reach 

F         G/F      F      
too high, too far, too soon,

G/F                      C 
you saw the whole of the moon!

        G/C
I was grounded

C     G/C  
while you filled the skies

F           G/F             F
I was dumbfounded by truths

G/F
you cut through lies

C                     G/C    C
I saw the rain-dirty valley

G/C
you saw Brigadoon

I saw the crescent

you saw the whole of the moon!

C               G/B  Am
I spoke about wings

G6
you just flew

  F                           C/E  Dm
I wondered, I guessed, and I tried

C/E
you just knew

  C      G/C
I sighed

C   G/C   
but you swooned!

  F               G/F  F
I saw the crescent

The whole of the moon!


Verse 4:

        C 
With a torch in your pocket

        G/C
and the wind at your heels

     C
You climbed on the ladder

        G/C
and you know how it feels to reach

F         G/F      F  
too high, too far, too soon,

G/F                      C
you saw the whole of the moon!

G/C              F
The whole of the moon!

      G/F
Hey, yeah!


Verse 5:

C
Unicorns and cannonballs,

G/C
palaces and piers,

C
Trumpets, towers, and tenements,

     G/C
wide oceans full of tears,

F
Flag, rags, ferry boats,

G/F
scimitars and scarves,

F
Every precious dream and vision

G/F
underneath the stars

          C
Yes, you climbed on the ladder

         G/C 
with the wind in your sails

     C
You came like a comet

G/C
blazing your trail

F         G/F      F  
Too high, too far, too soon,

G/F                      C     G/C
you saw the whole of the moon!
