## Play sheet
| | |
|---|---|
| **Key** | **G major** |
| **Feel / tempo** | slow ballad · ~68 bpm · 4/4 · fingerpicked, one soft voice |
| **Chord spine** | **G – Em – C – D** = *Butterflies and Love* canon 🦋 (woven, never altered) |
| **Capo** | **Uke: none.** Guitar: none. *(Softer/higher voice? Guitar **capo 3** with the same G-Em-C-D shapes → sounds in B♭; capo up to fit the singer.)* |

### Nashville numbers (in G)
```
G = 1     Em = 6m     C = 4     D = 5
Whole song loop ......... 1  6m  4  5   ( G  Em  C  D )
Phrase resolution ....... ...C  D  G    ( 4  5  1 )  — the line home
```

### Shapes
```
UKULELE (GCEA)              GUITAR (EADGBE)
G   0 2 3 2                 G   3 2 0 0 0 3
Em  0 4 3 2                 Em  0 2 2 0 0 0
C   0 0 0 3                 C   x 3 2 0 1 0
D   2 2 2 0                 D   x x 0 2 3 2
                           (all open — no barre on uke)
```

### Strum / feel
- **Fingerpick**, don't strum. Uke roll: thumb **G-string**, then **C-E-A** (p – i-m-a), let each chord bloom a full bar.
- Guitar: **p (bass) – i – m – a** arpeggio, or a slow thumb-brush. Lots of air between notes.
- **Do NOT rush the D** — it's the ache. Let it hang the extra half-beat before resolving.
- **Intro:** ` | G | Em | C | D |  (x2) ` — set the tempo with the picking, no click.
- **Turnaround:** each chorus/bridge ends **C  D  G** — that final **G** is the "home to you." Let it ring.
- Brushes / soft kit only on the **Final Chorus**, if at all. Otherwise voice + uke, naked.

**[Intro]**  ` | G | Em | C | D |  (x2) `

**[Verse 1]**
```
G                     Em
When the plane lifts off the runway
        C                 D
and the whole bright city falls away,
G                       Em
I'll be counting every hour
       C                    D
till the road turns back your way.
G                      Em
But look up tonight, my darling,
      C                  D
past the wingtip, past the cloud —
      G                Em
it's the same moon over Tokyo
      C                  D
that is shining on you now.
```

**[Chorus]**
```
G              Em
It's the same moon, love,
       C              D
the same old faithful light,
      G                 Em
one face for two people
      C               D
on a wide and folded night.
       G                  Em
However deep the ocean,
       C                D
however long the road,
       G             Em
I gave my heart a compass
      C            D          G
and it points back home to you.
```

**[Verse 2]**
```
G                     Em
I don't chase the applause, love,
       C                  D
I don't chase the neon signs,
G                       Em
I just want to plant a garden
      C                   D
where the two of us can climb.
G                        Em
And when they ask me what I'm worth
      C                    D
out past the harvest moon,
      G                   Em
I'll tell them everything I have —
      C              D
then hurry home to you.
```

**[Bridge]** *(barely above a whisper)*
```
G                  Em
Butterflies and love —
      C                    D
that's the only war I'll wage,
G                       Em
I'll fold you in a letter
       C                  D
that outlasts the turning page.
G                      Em
Keep the porch light burning,
      C                   D
keep the kettle on the flame,
      G                     Em
'cross the whole Pacific
      C                D          G
I'll be whispering your name.
```

**[Final Chorus]** *(slower, softer)*
```
G              Em
It's the same moon, love,
       C              D
the same old faithful light,
      G                 Em
one heart for two people
      C               D
till the morning burns it bright.
       G                  Em
However far they send me,
       C                D
however long I roam —
       G             Em
the moon will keep our secret
      C            D          G
and I'll always find you home.
```

**[Outro]** *(spoken)*
*...same moon... same heart... a hui hou, my love...* 🌕🦋🌺

*Harmony note (BACH): pure **I–vi–IV–V** in G — the *Butterflies and Love* canon exactly (G–Em–C–D). The ache lives in holding the **V (D)** a breath too long before it falls to **I**. 🎼*
