It's an accurate, playable piano arrangement of Sinatra's famous 1964 recording.
The full melody is included in the piano part, so it makes for a perfect instrumental (piano solo) cover.
Of course, you can also use this piano arrangement to accompany a singer, or sing along yourself - this sheet music includes a system for the singer, as well as the song's full lyrics!
The famous jazz standard was written in 1954 by American composer Bart Howard, originally titled "In Other Words".
While it was covered by countless artists over the years (including Kaye Ballard, Tony Bennett, Ella Fitzgerald, Joe Harnell, and Eydie Gormé), the most famous version was certainly recorded by Frank Sinatra:
Arranged by Quincy Jones and accompanied by Count Basie and his orchestra, Sinatra's recording became the first song on his 1964 album "It Might as Well Be Swing", and it became a huge hit.
Sinatra's recording even played a role during NASA's Apollo space program: It was played on the Apollo 10 mission while orbiting the moon.
"Fly Me to the Moon" is a fantastic song to play on the piano!
