Beautiful song from Rise To Your Knees!
(I'm pretty sure the lyrics aren't 100% correct, but I can't really figure it out) 

Intro: G5 F5 F5 F5 (x4) G5

 C5               G5       F5              C5
Someday on the moonwalk everything was right
 C5             G5        F5          C5
Bounced on the onfloat history of life
 C5               G5          F5          F5
Somewhere in the afterglow peeling it fell
          C5               G5            F5    F5 F5 F5
And it's good to see the happiness so far

            C5                  G5
You're the grass, you're the trees
             F5                   C5
You're the thing that makes the wind
            C5             G5
You're the roots of the sky
          F5       F5 F5 F5
You're an island

           C5                 G5
You never move, you never sleep
             F5               C5
You're the thought I cannot keep
          C5               G5
You're a denessen of the deep
          F5       F5 F5 F5 G5
You're an island

 C5               G5
Always in the never glades
 F5               C5
Purple wings in five
 C5               G5       F5               C5 
Predators in a picture, golden eyes and I
 C5                G5         F5          F5
Somewhere in the afterglow peeling it fell
            C5             G5             F5    F5 F5 F5
Where it's coming from no one can ever tell

            C5                  G5
You're the grass, you're the trees
             F5                   C5
You're the thing that makes the wind
            C5             G5
You're the roots of the sky
          F5       F5 F5 F5
You're an island

           C5                 G5
You never move, you never sleep
             F5               C5
You're the thought I cannot keep
          C5               G5
You're a denessen of the deep
          F5       F5 F5 F5 G5
You're an island

 C5                 G5        F5             C5
Somewhere on the earth now everything is cool
 C5                 G5          F5              C5
Drinking from the overflow splash becomes a pool
 C5             G5          F5          F5
Always in the after glow peeling it fell
            C5             G5             F5    F5 F5 F5
Where it's coming from no one can ever tell

            C5                  G5
You're the grass, you're the trees
             F5                   C5
You're the thing that makes the wind
            C5             G5
You're the roots of the sky
          F5       F5 F5 F5
You're an island

           C5                 G5
You never move, you never sleep
             F5               C5
You're the thought I cannot keep
          C5               G5
You're a denessen of the deep
          F5       F5 F5 F5
You're an island

           C5                 G5
You never move, you never sleep
             F5               C5
You're the thought I cannot keep
          C5               G5
You're a denessen of the deep
          F5       F5 F5 F5
You're an island

            C5                 G5
You're the moon, you're the glass
       F5                C5
Down stone the donkeys ass
      C5               G5
Up above the heavens laugh
          F5       F5 F5 F5 G5
You're an island
