THE WHOLE OF THE MOON 
Words & music: Mike Scott 

INTRO: Basically G C G D C D C D G, with some flourishes on the D's. 

{progression 1:} 
G D C G 
I pictured a rainbow, you held it in your hands 
C D C D 
I had flashes, but you saw the plan 
G D C D 
I wandered out in the world for years, while you just stayed in your 
C D C D G 
room / I saw the crescent, you saw the whole of the moon 
C G D 
The whole of the moon 

{progression 2:} 
G C 
You were there at the turnstiles with the wind at your heels 
G D 
You stretched for the stars and you know how it feels 
Em D C 
To reach too high, too far, too soon 
D G 
You saw the whole of the moon 

{progression 1} 
I was grounded while you filled the skies 
I was dumbfounded by truth, you cut through lies 
I saw the rain-dirty valley, you saw Brigadoon 
I saw the crescent, you saw the whole of the moon 

HORN SOLO 

{progression 1} 
I spoke about wings, you just flew 
I wondered, I guessed and I tried--you just knew 
I sighed...and you swooned 
I saw the crescent, you saw the whole of the moon 
The whole of the moon 

{progression 2} 
The torch in your pocket and the wind at your heels 
You climbed on the ladder and you know how it feels 
To get too high, too far, too soon 
You saw the whole of the moon 
C G D 
Yeah yeah yeah
