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 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 :)

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

Not only is this easy, but it sounds melodic and amazing TOO!
What an amazing song for a Ukulele!

Please do not ask for strumming patterns. Sharing online how to literally play a song (i.e. strumming, rhythm and tempo) is not allowed by the MPA (Music Publishers Association) because of copyright issues.

Carefully listen to the song and try to really "feel" the rhythm. Once you get the basics of strumming, I can assure you it'll go real quick. Maybe the strumming guide can help you on your way.
