Intro:
    G  G  C  G  
    F  G  F  G  

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

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

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

Interlude:
    -  C  - G  C  G  
      F   G  F  G 

Bridge:
C               G    Am
I spoke about wings
G6
you just flew
  F                           C    Dm
I wondered, I guessed, and I tried
C  
you just knew
  C      G  
I sighed
C   G     
but you swooned!
  F               G    F
I saw the crescent
G                        C  
you saw the whole of the moon!
G                 F    G  
The whole of the moon!

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

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

Biography

The Waterboys is a British celtic band formed in 1983 by Scottish musician Mike Scott. Their songs, largely written by Scott, often contain literary references and are frequently concerned with spirituality. Both the group and its members’ solo careers have received much praise from both rock and folk music critics, but The Waterboys as a band has never received the commercial success that some of its members (such as Ian McNabb, leader of The Icicle Works; Trevor Hutchinson, a founding member of Lúnasa; etc) have had independently.
