Intro: Dm G C Dm G C I'm lying on the moon Dm G C My dear, I'll be there soon Dm G C It's a quiet starry place Dm G Time's we're swallowed up F Fm C In space we're here a million miles away [same chord pattern throughout the song] There's things I wish I knew There's no thing I keep from you It's a dark and shiny place But with you my dear I'm safe and we're a million miles away We're lying on the moon It's a perfect afternoon Your shadow follows me all day Making sure I'm okay and We're a million miles away This arrangement is its contributor’s own interpretation, shared for private study, education and non-commercial use.

5 ukulele chords used in "The Moon Song" by Karen O: C, Dm, F, Fm and G
Dm/G picking: 3-2-3-1-2-3 (1 being A string)
C picking: 2-4-2-1-4-2 (1 being A string)
Strum once for F and Fm, and then strum the C at the end
This is for the movie version, idk if it made sense but it’s easier than actually writing out all the notes
kiss my cheddared butt
Just saying for the first verse, if you didn’t already know, it’s supposed to be “in space and we’re a million miles away” and not “in space we’re here a million miles away”
Thank you for coming to my TED talk 🙂
This is one of my favorite songs to play on the ukulele. An easy way to play it is for each cord use the strumming pattern down down up up down up throughout the whole song except with F and FM you just strum down once for each 🙂
Anyone wondering that the moon is actually just about 400.000 miles away? 😀
This sounded really pretty on my baritone uke 🙂
The fingerstylings according the the movie (Her) is 2-3-2-4-3-2 on each chords 🙂
Oof, this ads on this site from mobile make this unplayable
What is the tuning on this? I’m tuned to standard (island) tuning : GCEA and it just doesn’t sound quite right… ?
Love. ♥
i love this song, it was the first song i learned on the ukulele! the strum pattern i use is DDU UDU
the last line should be “making sure that I’m okay and we’re a million miles away
+2 also sound amazing!
pee pee
I use strums instead of plucking. I use pattern DDU UDU (Once on Dm and F, and twice on C)
For the F and Fm I just do a single D strum
love this!!
i do dduudu and after the c i do a7 except for the last line
Katerino introduced me to this song. She has such a beautiful voice and sings this song so well. @Katerino on Twitch
I like +2 and +3 best if you have a more quiet but high voice like me. It compliments the voice well
Not only is this easy, but it sounds melodic and amazing TOO!
What an amazing song for a Ukulele!
