Level: 2
Tuning: Standard

Though the 1964 Frank Sinatra/Count Basie recording of "Fly Me To the Moon" may be the most popular version, the tune had already been a hit for ten years prior, covered by a hundred other singers! Today the list is much longer, and Buzz Aldrin saw to it that it was the first music played on the moon, during his Apollo 11 mission. It has a typical 32-bar form: there's a 16 bar statement, then you start to repeat those 16 bars but the last several bars are different (in this case, the last 6 bars). This key-of-G arrangement stays in the first few frets except for two chords in the instrumental solo: an Am9 at the 5th fret and a Dm6 at the 6th fret.
