[Verse]
G
Once upon a
 time,
I tried to
Am
get myself
together
D7
Be more like
the sky
 and welcome
G
every kind of
C
weather
C
Be more eagle-like
and find
   D
the flight in
every
feather
C
Once upon a time,
but I'm still
D
trying to get better
Em
Maybe I'm just crazy,
 I should just
Am
be a brick in the
 wall
D
 Sit and watch
the TV, blame
G
everyone else for
   C
it all
        C
But I'm trying to
trust in
the heavens above
        D
And I'm trying to
rust
 in a world full of
love
G
Fire and water and
constantly dream
       C
Of the balance of
things and the music
 between
Am           D
  If there's anyone
out
 there, I'm close
 to the end
           Em
If there's anyone
out there,
       C
I just need a
friend

[Outro]
Feels like
I'm fallin' in—
Feels like
I'm fallin' in—
Feels like
I'm fallin'

How to play Moon Music: key, chords and progression

Moon Music by Coldplay sits in G major (one sharp: F♯), and you need 9 chords to play it: A, B, C#, D, Em, C, G, Am and D7.

Most of the song cycles through C – G – Am – D7 (IV – I – ii – V7 in G major). In solfa, that is fah – doh – reh – soh. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Good to know: B and C# are the tricky part on guitar (barre or movable shapes). Slow the change down until it is clean; on piano and ukulele they are simpler.
