The Moon Song chords by Karen O (Ver. 2)

Guitar chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

It's not as clear in the original version, but sometimes there's a Cmaj7 in the
bars of C. It's played by lifting your first finger off the B string on the third
strum, like so, and it adds a different sound to the song.
