I Don't Want to Live on the Moon
Sesame Street & Aaron Neville
Tabbed by: Maestro 727
I enjoy this song very much because I play and sing it to my daughter. I have seen many different versions of
this song, but I believe this one to be the most accurate. For those that are unaware, the G/B means to play
a G Major chord with a B in the bass. You may also add G7s when the G is in root position but honestly, I
did not enjoy how it sounded mostly because I would sing as a lullaby and the diminished interval caused
unwanted tension. I also tried my best to put exactly where you play the chord on top of its lyric... Hope
that helps. Let me know how you enjoy these chords and please enjoy the song.
C G/B Am
Well, I'd like to visit the moon
F G C
On a rocket ship high in the air
C G/B Am
Yes, I'd like to visit the moon
F G C Csus4 C
But I don't think I'd like to live there
F C/E Dm G C
Though I'd like to look down at the earth from a---bove
F C/E Dm G C
I would miss all the places and people I love
F C E7 Am
So although I might like it for one afternoon
F G C Csus4 C
I don't want to live on the moon
C G/B Am
I'd like to travel under the sea
F G C
I could meet all the fish everywhere
C G/B Am
Yes, I'd travel under the sea
F G C Csus4 C
But I don't think I'd like to live there
F C/E Dm G C
I might stay for a day there if I had my wish
F C/E Dm G C
But there's not much to do when your friends are all fish
F C E7 Am
And an oyster and clam aren't real family
F G C Csus4 C
So I don't want to live in the sea
F C Dm G C
I'd like to visit the jungle, hear the li---ons roar
F C Dm G C
Go back in time and meet a di---no---saur
F C E7 Am
There's so many strange places I'd like to be
F G C Csus4 C
But none of them permanent-ly
C G/B Am
So if I should visit the moon
F G C
Well, I'll dance on a moonbeam and then
C G/B Am
I will make a wish on a star
F G C Csus4 C
And I'll wish I was home once again
F C/E Dm G C
Though I'd like to look down at the earth from a---bove
F C/E Dm G C
I would miss all the places and people I love
F C E7 Am
So although I may go I'll be coming home soon
F G C
'Cause I don't want to live on the moon
F G C
No, I don't want to live on the moon
