Jimmy Buffett - Come To The Moon Chords

This song, "Come To The Moon" by Jimmy Buffett, uses a variety of chords to create its dreamy, 
interstellar ambiance. Here's a breakdown of the chords used throughout the song, ensuring that 
each type of chord is listed only once for clarity:
 D, Em11, Dmaj7, F#m, Bm, Em, A, D/F#, G, C#7

The song starts with a gentle introduction that sets the celestial mood, moving through verses and 
choruses that depict a longing for connection across the vastness of space. The pre-chorus and 
chorus sections introduce a sense of momentum and longing, culminating in the hopeful refrain 
to "come to the moon."

Rhythmic Feel and Strumming Patterns

Given the song's dreamy, expansive theme, the rhythm and strumming pattern should convey 
a sense of floating or drifting through space. A gentle, flowing strumming pattern with a mix of 
down and upstrokes can effectively convey this. For the verses and intro, a pattern such as 
D-DU-UD-DU (D=downstroke, U=upstroke) can be used, with a slight emphasis on the first 
and the fourth beat to give the song a floating feel.

During the chorus, you might want to increase the intensity slightly to convey the emotional 
weight of the lyrics, using a stronger strum or even integrating a bit of a dynamic rise and fall 
within the strumming pattern to mirror the longing and hopefulness expressed in the lyrics.
Playing Tips

    Em11 and Dmaj7: These chords add a lush, complex sound to the progression. Ensure your 
fingers are placed correctly to let each note ring out clearly.
    D/F#: This chord provides a nice bass transition between the D and G chords. Use your 
thumb to fret the low E string on the second fret for D/F#, if comfortable, to maintain the 
flow of the bass line.
    C#7: It introduces a bit of tension before resolving back into the more comforting sounds 
of F#m and Bm. Make sure this chord transitions smoothly to enhance the emotional effect.
    Rhythm and Timing: Keep the rhythm steady but relaxed. The song's magic lies in its 
ability to transport the listener, which relies heavily on maintaining a consistent, flowing tempo.

Remember, the essence of "Come To The Moon" is its atmospheric and evocative nature. 
Let your playing capture the song's essence, creating a musical experience that feels as 
vast and inviting as the moonlit night sky it describes.
