Fly Me To The Moon
Fly Me to the Moon is a popular standard song written by Bart Howard in 1954. It was titled originally "In Other Words", and was introduced by Felicia Sanders in cabarets. The song became known popularly as "Fly Me to the Moon" from its first line, and after a few years the publishers changed the title to that officially.

Learning the Song
Basically in the key of C major and its relative minor key, Am.
The IV chord in the C major part is approached using the Secondary Dominant V of IV or C7 to Fmaj7. This is a very common harmonic movement and well worth learning.
The Fly Me to The Moon play-along track is available for FREE download to all private and paid online students as well as paid site members.
Login to your personal Student Assets & Resources page or signup for private lessons to get access to this and other play-alongs tracks.
Here's an example of using the Wave backing track where I recorded the melody with Guitar. All backing tracks are only the background tracks, no melody.

Reading Chord Charts
The ability to play the melody, accompaniment chords and solo are technical skills that allow to play and enjoy these play-along tracks and charts.
The melody is shown on the chart or readily available in fake books and song books. You might even be able to play them by ear. Knowing how to read and the location of the notes on the guitar or ukulele fingerboard is what is needed for this.
