I DON^ÒT WANT TO LIVE ON THE MOON Sesame Street, performed by Ernie Transcribed by Ron Stimmel Disclaimer: I transcribed this all by ear after listening to the song. I don^Òt even think this is published anywhere so this is definitely my own work. And it^Òs pretty accurate, if I say so myself. Standard tuning, no capo Play > as intro one time in the same way as the first half of each verse is played: The first two chords of each line of ascending, the first 4 notes of the and Fbar chords are played in order while letting the strings ring. After those first 2 beats (2 chords), you get to and that you play (starting with bass ) all the way up and back down for a total of 4 beats and 8 notes. In order to change chords faster and easier, I bar the bass with my thumb. For the lines that have only 2 chords, 2 beats go to each chord. Play around with it and find the best fingerpicking style that works. In the song there are about 4 instruments playing together, and I think this pattern sort of combines all of them into the dominating melody that also happens to sound a little like the vocals. If you have even heard OF this song, you probably know how it goes so catching on to the melody shouldn^Òt be hard. I^Òm not allowed to include lyrics, but the recording is pretty clear. Fbar Fbar Well I^Òd like^Å (4 beats) On a rocket ship^Å Yes I^Òd like^Å But I don^Òt think^Å Though I^Òd like^Å I would miss all^Å although I might^Å I don^Òt want to^Å I^Òd like to travel^Å I could meet^Å Yes I^Òd travel^Å But I don^Òt think^Å I might stay^Å But there^Òs not much^Å And an oyster and clam^Å I don^Òt want^Å I^Òd like to visit^Å Go back in time^Å There^Òs so many strange^Å But none^Å if I should^Å Well I^Òll dance^Å I will make a wish^Å And I^Òll wish^Å Though I^Òd like^Å I would miss all^Å although I may go^Å Cuz I don^Òt^Å No, I don^Òt ^Å want to live ^Å on the moon End On: /
