I pictured a rainbow  you held it in your hands. I had flashes but you saw the plan
C                     G/C              C     G/C                      F
I wandered out in the world for years  while you just stayed in your room

I saw the crescent     you saw the whole of the moon! The whole of the moon!

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


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

I spoke about wings        you just flew
  F                           C/E  Dm  C/E (G?)
I wondered, I guessed, and I tried     you just knew
  C      G/C     C   G/C
I sighed         but you swooned!
  F               G/F  F    G/F                      C
I saw the crescent          you saw the whole of the moon!
G/C               F    G/F
The whole of the moon!
  
        C                            G/C
With a torch in your pocket  and the wind at your heels
     C                             G/C
You climbed on the ladder  and you know how it feels to get
F         G/F      F          G/F                      C
too high, too far, too soon,  you saw the whole of the moon!
G/C              F              G/F
The whole of the moon!    Hey, yeah!

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