The Moon Song chords by Karen O

Chords with lyrics (Ver. 2)

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

It's not as clear in the original version, but sometimes there's a Cmaj7Cmaj7 in the
bars of C. It's played by lifting your first finger off the BB string on the third
strum, like so, and it adds a different sound to the song.
