Fly Me to the Moon is a popular standard song written by Bart Howard in 1954. It was titled originally “In Other Words”, and was introduced by Felicia Sanders in cabarets. The song became known popularly as “Fly Me to the Moon” from its first line, and after a few years the publishers changed the title to that officially.

NOTE: Unlike most of the versions on-line, the chords for my arrangement use all 4-part, a.k.a, "jazz" chords. It sounds a lot better with these than the typical uke group versions. Up Your Game! Bring your musicianship up — NOT bring the song down.

Half the cost of the iMac and a real treat to use. I use it for ALL development work. Only wish the Affinity Suite of apps by serif where available on Linux (and I do know you can run them in Wine with a few hacks).
