D Em
You and I in a little toy shop
G A
Buy a bag of balloons with the money we've got
D Em
Set them free at the break of dawn
G A
Till one by one, they were gone
D Em
Back at base sparks in the software
G A
Flash the message, somethings out there
D Em
Floating in the summer sky as
G A D Em G A
99 red balloons go by
D Em
99 red balloons
G A
Floating in the summer sky
D Em
Panic bells it's red alert
G A
There's something here from somewhere else
D Em
The war machine springs to life
G A
Opens up one eager eye
D Em G A D Em G A
Focusing it on the sky as 99 red balloons go by
D Em
99 decisions treat
G A
99 ministers meet
D Em
To worry, worry, super scurry
G A
Call the troops out in a hurry
D Em
This is what we've waited for
G A
This is it boys, this is war
D Em
The president is on the line
G A D Em G A
As 99 red balloons go by
D Em
99 knights of the air
G A
Ride super high tech jet fighters
D Em G A
Everyone's a super hero, Everyone's a Captain Kirk
D Em
With orders to identify
G A
To clarify, and classify
D Em
Scramble in the summer sky
G A D Em
99 red balloons go by
G A D Em G A
99 red balloons go by
Slow it down a little on the last verse.
D Em G A
99 dreams I have had In every one a red balloon
D Em
It's all over and I'm standing pretty
G A
In this dust that was a city
D Em
If I could find a souvenir
G A
Just to prove the world was here
D Em
And here is a red balloon
G A
I think of you, and let it go
