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.

intro
E G# C#m A x2
E G#m C#m A
Cry baby boy, not tears of joy, the one you held is no longer your toy
E G#m C#m A
She's got her... new suit and her make up on
E G#m
You can call her your friend but not your lover again
C#m A
She's made it clear as air that this affair is at an end
E G#m C#m A
...So what are you doing holding on?
E G#m C#m A
Don't you see she's rare, precious and she's gone
E G#m C#m A
Yes she's rare, precious and she's gone
E G#m
She was soft in your hands, now she's shattered your plans
C#m A
I'm sympathetic but you've got to understand
E G#m C#m A
You tried to squeeze her into somewhere she just don't belong
E G#m
She was being sincere when she breathed in your ear
C#m A
...as long as there were stars in the night sky
E G#m C#m A
she'd be near... even angels get it wrong!
E G#m C#m A
Won't you see she's rare, precious and she's gone
E G#m C#m A
Yes she's rare, precious and she's gone
B E A E
It's a subtle trap... seeding guilt in her mind
B A G#m
She ain't taking your crap... this time
A G#m C# NC
Boy you're out on a line...
E G#m
She's a queen among women, a child among queens
C#m A
The finest thing that your lovesick eyes have ever seen
E G#m C#m A
...she's a rose without a thorn
E G#m
She's a peach, she's a prize, a gift in disguise
C#m A
She's graceful and colourful and when she grows she'll be wise
E G#m C#m A
...but most of all my friend, she's gone
E G#m C#m A
...gone, gone gone! She's rare, precious and she's gone
E G#m C#m A
Yes she's rare, precious and she's gone
E G#m C#m A
She's rare, precious and she's gone
E G#m C#m A
She's rare, precious and she's ...gone
