Lyrics

(A)Once up on a time I tried to get my self to geth er,

(E)be more like the sky and wel come ev ’ry kind of weath er,

(B)be more ea gle like and find the flight in ev ’ry feath er.

(D)Once up on a time, but I’m still try ing to get bet ter.

(F#)May be I’m just cra zy.

I should just be a brick in the wall,

sit and watch the T V, blame ev ’ry one else for it all.

But I’m try ing to trust in the heav ens a bove, and I’m try ing to trust in a world full of love, fi re and wa ter, and con stant ly dream of (D)bal ance of things and the mu sic be tween.

If there’s (A)an y one out there, I’m close to the end.

If there’s (D)an y one out there,

I

(D)friend.

Moon Music — Karaoke: Lyrics & Chords to Sing & Play Along

51 people have learned this song

Free karaoke for "Moon Music" by Coldplay: lyrics on screen with the chords above each line and a bouncing ball that lands on every word in time. Sing along, or play along on guitar or piano from the chord chart. Change the key to fit your voice, slow the tempo down. Key of A, 44 BPM.

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement sits in A major, so make sure your fingers are comfortable with those three sharps — F♯, C♯, and G♯ should feel automatic before you start putting phrases together.

At 44 BPM the tempo is genuinely slow, which sounds easy but actually exposes every uneven transition and premature release, so lean on the sustain pedal to connect your chords smoothly while keeping your changes clean underneath.

I'd suggest learning the left-hand pattern first on its own until the chord shapes sit in your muscle memory, then layer the right hand in short four-bar loops rather than playing start to finish.

Watch for moments where your right hand has to stretch over wider melodic intervals — at this tempo you have time, so use it and place each note deliberately instead of lunging.

The trickiest stumbling point is usually rushing through held notes because the pace feels "too slow"; trust the space and let each chord breathe fully.

This is a fantastic piece for training expressive pedal control and confident, unhurried phrasing — skills that will level up everything else you play.

Does it show chords so I can play along on guitar or piano?
It does — a chord symbol sits on a thin row just above the lyric it changes on, so the same screen doubles as a lyrics-and-chords chart. Guitarists can strum the changes and pianists can comp while singing; the chords are colour-coded and move with the live transpose if you change key.
Can I change the key of "Moon Music" to match my voice or capo?
Yes. The original is in A, but the live transpose control shifts the whole song up or down semitones until the melody sits in your range (or maps to an easier guitar shape / capo position) — the on-screen chords and the backing move with it.
Can I slow "Moon Music" down to learn the words and chords?
Yes — the tempo control lets you take it as slow as you need while the lyrics still light up in time and the ball keeps you on the beat. Speed it back up once you can sing and play it through.
