I noticed that the only version of "The Moon Song" that was on 
here didn't have all of the chords in place, and was missing an 
extra  Fmaj7(x03210)strum between the  Cand  Dmin places so I
thought I would put this up as a more complete version. 
The  Fand  Fmchords are held for a single long strum.
The  Fmaj7is just an extra step to join between the  Cand  Dm-
they're played as three beats in quick succession, not a measure.
[Intro] 
Dm G C
