Fly Me to the Moon


"Fly Me to the Moon" is a classic song written by Bart Howard in 1954, originally titled "In Other Words." Though rooted in jazz and pop, its timeless chord progressions and melodic richness make it a rewarding piece to arrange for electric guitar. Frank Sinatra's iconic 1964 recording brought the song lasting cultural recognition, and its smooth harmonic movement offers guitarists an excellent opportunity to explore jazz voicings, fingerpicking, or single-note melody playing.

  • The song was originally titled "In Other Words" when Bart Howard wrote it in 1954 — the current title came later.
  • The first-ever recording was made by Kaye Ballard in 1954, predating the famous Frank Sinatra version by a decade.
  • Frank Sinatra's 1964 recording became closely associated with NASA's Apollo Moon missions, giving the song iconic cultural status.
